Department of Health and Human Services obligations in Maryland 3rd District (MD-03)
Awarding agency 075 and Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) meet at $3,710,428,552.23 in USAspending.gov obligations, spread across 412 awards. Four hundred twelve HHS-coded awards equal about twelve percent of MD-03’s district obligation total, a health-and-human-services column inside a thirty-one-billion-dollar district base. That pair is Department of Health and Human Services and Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) — not Maryland’s entire federal inflow, not Department of Health and Human Services nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 11.8% of this district’s published obligation total ($31,356,776,634.33). Implied average obligation is about $9,005,894.54 ($3,710,428,552.23 ÷ 412). Correlation is not causation.

Reading agency 075 inside MD-03
Awarding agency 075 and congressional district MD-03 meet here. $3,710,428,552.23 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Health and Human Services’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Maryland 3rd District (MD-03), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split HHS operating divisions or contract versus assistance instruments. 412 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a patient census, a hospital roster, a grant-program pie, or a named-grantee file.
This page reports health-and-human-services awarding activity USAspending tagged to this district. The headline $3,710,428,552.23 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $31,356,776,634.33; the 11.8% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Maryland districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays.
Agency 075 without inventing a component pie
USAspending labels awarding agency 075 as Department of Health and Human Services. That code produced $3,710,428,552.23 when crossed with Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) place of performance. The agency-wide 075 hub does not require MD-03 geography. The district hub does not require HHS. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 412 awards. The packet does not split HHS operating divisions or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) did not cause $3,710,428,552.23 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 075 × MD-03 only. It is not a patient census, a hospital roster, a grant-program pie, or a named-grantee file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
How Maryland 3rd District is coded
Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list MD-03 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Maryland districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 075. Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Maryland. Other Maryland districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 075. Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) is a numbered stamp, distinct from Maryland 1st District’s SSA cell. Agency 075 is Health and Human Services, not Social Security Administration (028).
What the dollar figure is allowed to mean
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $3,710,428,552.23 is that kind of sum for Department of Health and Human Services inside MD-03 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $3,710,428,552.23 as given.
Maryland’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 412-row HHS cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 412 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($9,005,894.54) is a concentration statistic, not a typical MD-03 HHS payment.
Parents of this tie: district, agency, state
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Health and Human Services (agency 075) obligated $3,710,428,552.23 on 412 awards coded to Maryland 3rd District (MD-03). Name Department of Health and Human Services and Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) together. Keep the obligation word. If Maryland 3rd District or Department of Health and Human Services has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a patient census, a hospital roster, a grant-program pie, or a named-grantee file. 11.8% of $31,356,776,634.33 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep Department of Health and Human Services, Maryland 3rd District (MD-03), $3,710,428,552.23, and 412 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of Health and Human Services is the 075 parent without a MD-03 filter. Maryland federal spending is the Maryland parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with HHS does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
Limits of the MD-03 × 075 snapshot
412 awards is a moderate HHS file against a large district book. Named grantees and operating divisions are unpublished. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $9,005,894.54) and the district share (11.8% of $31,356,776,634.33) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Maryland 3rd District and Department of Health and Human Services if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much HHS spending is coded to Maryland 3rd District (MD-03)?
- USAspending.gov lists $3,710,428,552.23 in HHS (agency 075) obligations across 412 awards coded to Maryland 3rd District (MD-03). That pair is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Maryland’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 11.8% of the district’s published total ($31,356,776,634.33). Unique recipients are unpublished.
- Does $3,710,428,552.23 include every HHS program in MD-03?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split HHS operating divisions or contract versus assistance instruments. $3,710,428,552.23 is the combined obligation sum for agency 075 inside MD-03 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. 412 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $3,710,428,552.23 cash already paid in Maryland 3rd District (MD-03)?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $3,710,428,552.23 as checks already cleared in Maryland 3rd District (MD-03) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 412 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
- Do FEC donations fund these HHS awards in MD-03?
- No. FEC receipts and USAspending obligations are different datasets. Sharing Maryland geography does not mean donations funded $3,710,428,552.23 in Maryland 3rd District (MD-03). This page reports USAspending.gov awarding-agency 075 crossed with place of performance MD-03. It does not report campaign finance.
