Child Support Services overlapping FY2026 — CFDA 93.563
The pair is Child Support Services × FY2026. $2,439,057,966.94 is the obligation aggregate for rows that carry both CFDA 93.563 and fiscal year 2026 on the yearlyTrend table.

This page does not invent the other fiscal-year rows that sit outside FY2026 on Child Support Services. Correlation is not causation: the join does not prove that FY2026 caused Child Support Services activity, only that USAspending coded the two keys together. It is not a state ranking or a named child-support office list.
SpendingVault indexes the cell from USAspending.gov. The catalog title on the program side is CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES. The year on the other side is federal fiscal year 2026. Neither label is a contractor, a place of performance, or an awarding-agency code — this packet publishes no awarding agency and no named recipients. Cite $2,439,057,966.94 as obligations on the Child Support Services–FY2026 pair. One hundred seventy-two FY2026 awards on $2.44 billion is a thin entitlement-style file, not a roster of IV-D cases.
CFDA 93.563 as the Child Support Services side
CFDA 93.563 is the Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance identifier for Child Support Services. The program-wide obligation total in this extract is $21,148,016,477.64 across 668 awards. That figure is a program rollup, not a second headline for the FY2026 cell unless the two amounts match. Do not treat $21,148,016,477.64 as cash Treasury already sent. Agency names, case counts, and collection totals are unpublished on this packet.
FY2026 as the child-support yearlyTrend cell
Federal fiscal year 2026 is the time key on this yearlyTrend row. The year hub FY2026 federal spending at /fiscal-years/2026/ rolls up every program that year in the index, not only Child Support Services. Reading $2,439,057,966.94 as all FY2026 federal obligations would over-read this cell. The join is one CFDA inside one fiscal year, not a Budget Appendix score.
Do not add Federal Election Commission contribution totals to $2,439,057,966.94. Campaign-finance receipts and USAspending award obligations are separate public-record systems even when a geography or a calendar year happens to overlap. This packet has no FEC facts. Donations do not fund Child Support Services obligations in FY2026.
172 FY2026 awards as a CFDA table, not a case census
The extract lists 172 awards on the Child Support Services × FY2026 table. That is an award-record count for this yearlyTrend cell, not a census of child-support cases. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. Dividing $2,439,057,966.94 by 172 is not published here as a typical award size, because the packet does not say the rows are comparable. The program-wide award count is 668, a different denominator.
172 is the award-record count on this FY2026 cell, not a published census of child-support cases. Unique vendors and places of performance are unpublished. Do not read 172 as 172 finished projects in Child Support Services during FY2026.
Caseload rankings this IV-D–FY2026 join cannot support
An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $2,439,057,966.94 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared on Child Support Services in FY2026 over-reads the field. The join cannot say that Child Support Services expanded in FY2026 because of a policy success metric this packet omits. Keep $2,439,057,966.94 labeled as Child Support Services obligations in fiscal year 2026.
