Department of Health and Human Services federal obligations in Maine

USAspending.gov records $24,541,487,054.48 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations under awarding agency 075 with place of performance in Maine, across 1,742 awards. The join names HHS and Maine together: one awarding-agency code and one state geography tag. It does not say Augusta wrote these awards or that every hospital in the state is in the file. Obligations are not outlays. Dividing $24,541,487,054.48 by 1,742 awards produces about $14.09 million per award on average.

Key figures

  • HHS agency 075 shows $24,541,487,054.48 in Maine place-of-performance obligations on 1,742 awards.
  • Mean obligation is about $14.09 million per award.
  • Maine is a geography tag, not a roster of providers.
  • The join is not HHS nationally and not all Maine federal spending.
  • Figures are obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

Maine and agency 075 in one cell

This tie reports the USAspending intersection of awarding agency 075 and Maine (ME) place of performance. The $24,541,487,054.48 figure sums matching obligations. Maine’s all-agency hub is larger in scope; the HHS national hub is larger in the other direction. Quoting this page as either parent would drop a filter.

One thousand seven hundred forty-two awards against $24.54 billion is a relatively sparse row count for the dollars involved. That shape often appears when large assistance awards dominate, but the packet does not list CFDA numbers. The join also does not measure Maine’s health outcomes or uninsured rate.

Maine’s 1,742 HHS awards and $24,541,487,054.48 are a reminder that a small-population state tag can still carry an assistance-scale total. Small-population is not in the packet, so per-capita claims would invent a denominator. What is in the packet is agency 075, ME, the dollar sum, and the row count. Hold the citation to those four facts and the join remains honest.

Department of Health and Human Services as 075

Agency code 075 is the HHS parent in this extract. Sub-agencies can sit underneath it in the source. This packet supplies one dollar total and one award count for the parent-plus-Maine slice. The overlay /states/me/agencies/075/ is the same pair in table form.

A national HHS page will show other states. $24,541,487,054.48 is Maine’s tagged share in the aggregate, not the department’s full obligation book. 1,742 is not the number of HHS employees in Maine.

Maine as place of performance

Maine is state code ME. Place of performance can mean work in-state, a recipient address, or a reporting convention. Awards coded to New Hampshire, Massachusetts, Vermont, or other states stay outside this $24,541,487,054.48 total even when patients or vendors cross those lines. The join cannot reconstruct those crossings.

Statewide Maine federal spending is the parent geography. SSA also posts a Maine cell on this site under a different agency code. Those are separate joins. This page keeps 075 and ME only.

The $14.09 million average

Mean obligation of about $14.09 million ($24,541,487,054.48 ÷ 1,742) is a concentration statistic. A few very large awards can pull the mean far from the median. This page has no median and no top-award list. 1,742 is an award-record count, not 1,742 clinics.

Net totals can include de-obligations. Readers should not treat the average as a typical invoice to a Maine provider.

What the pair does not claim

Maine place-of-performance tagging does not mean FEC receipts from Maine funded these awards. Obligations are not outlays. The page does not rank Maine as healthier or sicker than other states. It reports one USAspending join.

How to read the Maine–HHS numbers

Maine’s HHS pair ($24,541,487,054.48, 1,742 awards) is a small-state tag with a still-large assistance-shaped book. Small-state does not mean small dollars in this extract. It also does not mean MaineCare is the whole cell. The facts never name MaineCare. Operating divisions under 075 remain collapsed. NIH grants, CMS assistance, and public-health awards, if present, share the same $24,541,487,054.48 bucket. Un-collapsing them requires a different grain than this tie.

New Hampshire and Massachusetts are the land borders that matter for most Maine travel. Awards tagged to those states do not drip into ME. Island and Down East addresses still collapse to the same ME code as Portland. The $24,541,487,054.48 total has no county split.

USAspending records $24,541,487,054.48 in obligations for awarding agency 075 (Department of Health and Human Services) with Maine place of performance, covering 1,742 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for this pair, not an outlay figure and not HHS’s national total.
Is this MaineCare or Medicaid only?
The facts do not split CFDA programs inside this cell. The filter is agency 075 plus ME place of performance. $24,541,487,054.48 includes whatever HHS awards carry those tags, which may mix assistance listings.
What is the average HHS award in Maine?
Dividing $24,541,487,054.48 by 1,742 awards yields about $14.09 million per award. That mean is a concentration statistic, not a typical hospital claim.
Does this include Veterans Affairs health spending in Maine?
No. Veterans Affairs is a different awarding agency. This join is HHS agency 075 only. VA dollars, if any, appear on a separate state–agency page.
