Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania × 10.551 is a SNAP join, not a household census

This page pairs CFDA 10.551, SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, with Pennsylvania place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $9,849,774,368.62 on 3 awards. The join is USDA's SNAP listing crossed with a Pennsylvania location field, not Pennsylvania's entire nutrition book and not a count of SNAP households. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that 3 awards equal that many SNAP households, EBT cards, or grocery stores.

School meals, WIC, and other nutrition CFDA lines sit outside this total unless they also carry 10.551. Correlation between this obligation sum and local need statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Pennsylvania (PA) excludes New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia. A New Jersey SNAP award is another cell. Place of performance as Pennsylvania locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $9,849,774,368.62 in the state treasury.

Three awards carrying a $9.85 billion book

Mean obligation is about $3.28 billion if $9,849,774,368.62 were divided evenly across 3 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Three records against $9,849,774,368.62 is a classic state-agency SNAP file: a handful of large assistance vehicles, not thousands of household rows. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations. It is not a census of SNAP households, EBT cards, or grocery stores.

Three awards are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in Pennsylvania for the stored table. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and the rest of the Commonwealth are unpublished. Three awards are not three county offices. The $9,849,774,368.62 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

Questions

How much Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funding is obligated in Pennsylvania?

USAspending.gov shows $9,849,774,368.62 in obligations for CFDA 10.551 with Pennsylvania as place of performance, across 3 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Pennsylvania's entire federal-spending total. Other listings are outside this join unless they also carry 10.551.

Do 3 awards mean 3 Pennsylvania SNAP households?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of SNAP households, EBT cards, or grocery stores. The packet does not name recipients. See Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in Pennsylvania for named lines as USAspending stored them. The implied mean near $3.28 billion is a ratio, not a typical unit.

Is this Pennsylvania's entire Pennsylvania nutrition budget?

No. The join is CFDA 10.551 crossed with Pennsylvania place of performance. Related programs on other CFDA numbers are not inside $9,849,774,368.62 unless the award also carries 10.551. School meals, WIC, and other nutrition CFDA lines sit outside this total unless they also carry 10.551. Mixing catalogs would invent a combined figure the packet never computed.

Is the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program total already paid in Pennsylvania?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $9,849,774,368.62 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Completed activity and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
