Foster Care Title Iv-E in Nebraska

Nebraska x 93.658 is an IV-E join, not a child census

This page pairs CFDA 93.658, FOSTER CARE TITLE IV-E, with Nebraska place of performance. The join is an ACF Title IV-E foster-care listing crossed with a state location field, not Nebraska’s entire child-welfare budget and not a census of children in care. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $180,770,135.19 on 6 awards. The extract does not list agencies, children, or placement types. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more need, and not a claim that 6 awards equal 6 agencies or 6 children.

Other ACF listings — adoption assistance, Chafee, or different child-welfare titles — sit outside this total unless they also carry 93.658. Mixing those listings into $180,770,135.19 would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and the foster-care caseload is not causation. Caseload figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Nebraska locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $180,770,135.19 in the state treasury. Omaha-versus-Lincoln folklore is not a metro split in this packet. A six-row file can still carry a nine-figure obligation total.

6 awards behind $180.8 million

Mean obligation is about $30,128,355.86 if $180,770,135.19 were divided evenly across 6 lines. That ratio is not a published maintenance payment and not a cost per child. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations and modifications. It is not a count of children, foster homes, or counties.

Six lines are a short formula-style file. Large IV-E rows to a state agency are a common shape. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Foster Care Title Iv-E in Nebraska for the stored table. Do not convert 6 into a map of Nebraska foster homes. The $180,770,135.19 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a child census.

Questions

How much Foster Care Title IV-E funding is obligated in Nebraska?

USAspending.gov shows $180,770,135.19 in obligations for CFDA 93.658 with Nebraska as place of performance, across 6 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Nebraska’s full child-welfare budget. Other listings are outside this join unless they also carry 93.658.

Do 6 awards mean 6 Nebraska children in foster care?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. Formula IV-E often posts as few large rows to a state agency. It is not a child or home census. See the Nebraska 93.658 overlay for named lines.

Does this include Nebraska adoption assistance?

No. This page is CFDA 93.658, Foster Care Title IV-E. Adoption assistance uses a different CFDA. Those dollars are not inside $180,770,135.19 unless the award also carries 93.658. The extract has no child count.

Is $181 million already spent on Nebraska foster placements?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $180,770,135.19 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Child counts, placement types, and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
