Child Support Services obligations in Arkansas

Arkansas 93.563 is a different cell than Oklahoma

CFDA 93.563 is titled CHILD SUPPORT SERVICES. Crossed with Arkansas place of performance, the obligation sum is $188,256,000 on 10 awards. The national 93.563 hub includes other states. Arkansas’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $188,256,000 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of orders enforced in Little Rock or Fort Smith.

Oklahoma’s 93.563 join is a separate cell and is not added here. TANF, Medicaid, and foster-care catalogs use different CFDA numbers. Mixing those into $188,256,000 would invent a broader family-services total than this cell contains. Packet facts are $188,256,000, 10 awards, AR, and 93.563. Correlation is not causation.

Ten awards under Arkansas child support

Ten awards against $188,256,000 yield a simple mean of $18,825,600. The facts do not publish a median, a range, or unique recipients. 10 is a record count in an aggregate, not 10 counties and not 10 courthouses. A state IV-D agency can post multiple instruments across modifications.

With so few instruments, a single large formula award can dominate the mean. Treat 10 as an award-record count, not as ten finished fiscal years. Unique recipient names are unpublished and are not invented here. Downward modifications, if they exist in the raw file, are already netted into the total supplied in the facts.

Arkansas geography on the 93.563 tag

AR is the place-of-performance code. An award can post to a statewide address even when collections occur in many counties. Awards coded to Oklahoma, Texas, Louisiana, Missouri, Tennessee, or Mississippi stay outside $188,256,000 even when a case file crosses those lines. The facts do not split the 10 awards by county.

Arkansas federal spending is the all-program parent. 93.563 is one row on Arkansas programs. $188.3 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Child Support Services in Arkansas for the filtered table, CFDA 93.563 for the catalog without an Arkansas filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $188,256,000.

What Child Support Services in Arkansas does not prove

A large 93.563 total tagged to Arkansas does not measure collection rates, arrearage balances, or paternity counts. It does not equal cash transferred to custodial parents. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. The headline remains $188,256,000 on 10 awards for Child Support Services in Arkansas.

Keep both sides of the join: Child Support Services and Arkansas, obligations only. Do not annualize $188,256,000 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than an enforcement-rate story.

Limits of the packet facts for Arkansas 93.563
