Department of Health and Human Services federal obligations in Vermont

What the HHS–Vermont join is

Awarding agency 075 and place-of-performance state VT meet here. $8,311,579,920.44 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 Vermont, and not an outlay register. Operating divisions under 075 can share the cell. A thin book with a high mean is easy to misread as one blockbuster grant; the packet does not identify instruments.

1,028 is a thin award file: relatively few rows, so the mean is large and easy to misread as a typical grant. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $8,311,579,920.44 by 1,028 yields about $8.09 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 Vermont for the live filtered table, Vermont federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Health and Human Services for agency 075 without a Vermont filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,311,579,920.44.

Awarding agency 075 as the HHS side

USAspending labels awarding agency 075 as Department of Health and Human Services. That code produced $8,311,579,920.44 when crossed with Vermont place of performance. The agency-wide 075 hub does not require VT geography. The Vermont hub does not require HHS. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 1,028 awards.

A Medicaid-only figure, a hospital ranking, and a Green Mountain per-capita health spend are unpublished. Do not treat 1,028 rows as 1,028 clinics. A second HHS slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Vermont’s 075 cell as a synonym for every HHS account.

Vermont as place of performance (VT)

Vermont on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Vermont residents. Awards can list VT while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged New York, New Hampshire, or Massachusetts remain on those ties even when a referral goes to Boston or Albany. Chittenden County and the rest of Vermont share one VT stamp.

Vermont federal spending shows how agency 075 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $8,311,579,920.44 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Vermont by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,311,579,920.44 is that kind of sum for Department of Health and Human Services inside Vermont 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.

Vermont’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1,028-row HHS cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $8,311,579,920.44 as given. Treat 1,028 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Questions

How much HHS spending is coded to Vermont?

USAspending.gov lists $8,311,579,920.44 in Department of Health and Human Services obligations across 1,028 Vermont-coded awards. Agency 075 × VT is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Vermont’s complete federal ledger. Department of Health and Human Services in Vermont is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $8.09 million, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does this total include every HHS program in Vermont?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup, not a program pie. $8,311,579,920.44 is the combined obligation sum for agency 075 inside Vermont coding. Open Department of Health and Human Services in Vermont to inspect award lines. 1,028 is an action count, not a program count. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not invent a CFDA split from the department label.

Is $8,311,579,920.44 cash already paid in Vermont?

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 $8,311,579,920.44 as checks already cleared in Vermont confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 1,028 awards. Prefer the overlay if the table moved.
