Department of Health and Human Services federal obligations in South Dakota

USAspending.gov records $8,539,449,283.66 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations under awarding agency 075 with place of performance in South Dakota, across 3,928 awards. Readers often open an HHS–South Dakota join expecting an IHS or Great Plains health story. This packet does not isolate Indian Health Service, CMS, or CDC, and it does not publish a tribal-versus-state split. The pair is Department of Health and Human Services and South Dakota — not South Dakota’s entire federal inflow and not cash already paid. Average obligation is about $2.17 million ($8,539,449,283.66 ÷ 3,928).

What the HHS–South Dakota join is

Awarding agency 075 and place-of-performance state SD meet here. $8,539,449,283.66 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 South Dakota, and not an outlay register. Operating divisions under 075 can share this cell. A mid-single-digit-billion HHS book in a smaller-population state is still an obligation join, not a health ranking.

3,928 is a moderate row count, consistent with a mix of formula vehicles and project awards, without naming those vehicles. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $8,539,449,283.66 by 3,928 yields about $2.17 million per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.

Open Department of Health and Human Services in South Dakota for the live filtered table, South Dakota federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Health and Human Services for agency 075 without a South Dakota filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,539,449,283.66.

Awarding agency 075 as the HHS side

USAspending labels awarding agency 075 as Department of Health and Human Services. That code produced $8,539,449,283.66 when crossed with South Dakota place of performance. The agency-wide 075 hub does not require SD geography. The South Dakota hub does not require HHS. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 3,928 awards.

Medicaid-only totals, a hospital ranking, and a per-capita health spend are unpublished. 3,928 awards is an action count, not a patient census. A second HHS slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat South Dakota’s 075 cell as a synonym for every HHS account.

South Dakota as place of performance (SD)

South Dakota on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to South Dakota residents. Awards can list SD while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged North Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Nebraska, Wyoming, or Montana stay on those ties even when a referral crosses the line. Sioux Falls, Rapid City, and the rest of the state share one SD stamp.

South Dakota federal spending shows how agency 075 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $8,539,449,283.66 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split South Dakota by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,539,449,283.66 is that kind of sum for Department of Health and Human Services inside South Dakota 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.

South Dakota’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 3,928-row HHS cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $8,539,449,283.66 as given. Treat 3,928 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Questions

How much HHS spending is coded to South Dakota?
USAspending.gov lists $8,539,449,283.66 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations across 3,928 South Dakota-coded awards. Agency 075 × SD is an obligation join, not an outlay and not South Dakota’s complete federal ledger. Department of Health and Human Services in South Dakota is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $2.17 million, a ratio of those two facts only.
Does this total include every HHS program in South Dakota?
The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $8,539,449,283.66 is the combined obligation sum for agency 075 inside South Dakota coding.

Is $8,539,449,283.66 cash already paid in South Dakota?
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.
