Child Support Services federal funding in Alabama

Alabama x 93.563 is a IV-D join, not a case census

This page pairs CFDA 93.563, CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES, with Alabama place of performance. Child Support Services, in program language, helps states locate parents, establish orders, and collect support under Title IV-D. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $375,498,575 on 9 awards. The extract does not list cases, collections, or county offices. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state collects more support, and not a claim that 9 awards equal 9 offices.

Other HHS listings — TANF, Medicaid, or different family programs — sit outside $375,498,575 unless they also carry 93.563. Alabama’s WIC and institutional-aid joins on this slice are USDA and Education overlays, not IV-D subsets. Mixing child support with TANF would invent a combined family-services figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and poverty rates is not causation. Poverty figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Alabama locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $375,498,575 in the state treasury.

9 awards behind $375.5 million

Mean obligation is about $41,722,063.89 if $375,498,575 were divided evenly across 9 lines. That ratio is not a published administrative grant and not a cost per case. Formula-style IV-D awards often post as a handful of rows to a state child-support agency. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations. It is not a count of cases, counties, or collections.

Nine lines are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent the lead agency name. Open Child Support Services in Alabama for the stored table. Do not convert 9 into a map of Alabama child-support offices. The $375,498,575 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards, not collections already received from parents. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a caseload.

IV-D obligations are not collections already received

Child-support administrative awards often obligate to a state and draw as federal financial participation is claimed. The $375,498,575 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of dollars collected from parents and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. An OCSE performance table dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses CFDA 93.563, Alabama geography, and the obligation metric.

The listing title is Child Support Services. This extract does not split federal incentive payments from regular FFP, and it does not split establishment from enforcement. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 9 awards, CFDA 93.563, and Alabama. This page will not invent an activity share. WIC on 10.557 is a USDA overlay.
