Department of Health and Human Services federal obligations in West Virginia

HHS and West Virginia as a two-key filter

This page reports awards tagged to agency 075 and to West Virginia (WV) place of performance. The $25,913,867,584.23 figure is the USAspending aggregate for that pair. West Virginia’s statewide federal-spending hub includes every awarding agency; the HHS national hub includes every state. Neither parent is this cell.

One thousand six hundred ninety-one awards against $25.91 billion is a thick dollars-per-row pattern typical of large assistance books, but the facts do not name Medicaid, research grants, or public-health contracts. Inferring a single program from the department label would overfit the aggregate. The join also does not measure health status in West Virginia.

Agency 075 in this extract

Awarding agency 075 is the Department of Health and Human Services. Operating divisions can sit under that parent in the source file. This packet does not list them. The overlay /states/wv/agencies/075/ is the table view of the same $25,913,867,584.23 and 1,691-award pair.

Readers who need HHS awards without a West Virginia constraint should open the agency 075 hub. Stretching this tie into a national HHS total would drop the state filter that defines the page.

West Virginia on the place-of-performance field

West Virginia is state code WV. Recipients based in the state, work performed there, and awards that simply list WV can all share the $25,913,867,584.23 sum. Awards coded to Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, or Maryland stay out even when river towns and commuting patterns cross those lines. The table does not model those crossings.

Statewide West Virginia spending is the parent geography. HHS is one awarding agency inside it. SSA also has a large West Virginia cell on this site; that is a different agency code and a different join. This page keeps 075 and WV only.

Average size of the 1,691 awards

About $15.32 million per award ($25,913,867,584.23 ÷ 1,691) is a mean, not a median. A small number of very large assistance awards can dominate. Downward modifications can cut the net total without cutting the award count. 1,691 is best read as records in the aggregate, not as 1,691 hospitals or 1,691 equal grants.

The ratio is useful as a concentration check against Defense-style tables with tens of thousands of smaller actions. It is not a quality score and not a ranking of West Virginia against other states.

Limits of the HHS–West Virginia join

Place-of-performance overlap does not mean West Virginia campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert $25,913,867,584.23 into outlays. The page does not rank the state by need. It reports one USAspending cell.

How to read the West Virginia–HHS numbers

West Virginia’s HHS total of $25,913,867,584.23 is large relative to the state’s population in popular commentary, but this packet has no population field. Per-capita claims would invent a denominator. Stick to 1,691 awards and the dollar sum. Need and poverty indices are other datasets. Agency 075 can include CMS assistance, CDC, NIH, and other operating divisions. West Virginia’s 1,691 rows do not disclose the split. A Medicaid-only quote from this page would be a guess. Use a CFDA-state tie when the question is a specific listing.

Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia, Kentucky, and Maryland wrap West Virginia. River communities can have work on one bank and a tag on the other. Only WV-tagged awards enter $25,913,867,584.23. The join is not a map of Appalachian health-care markets.

Questions

How much HHS funding is obligated in West Virginia?

USAspending records $25,913,867,584.23 in obligations for awarding agency 075 (Department of Health and Human Services) with West Virginia place of performance, covering 1,691 awards. That is an obligation aggregate for this pair, not an outlay figure and not HHS’s national total.

Is this West Virginia’s Medicaid total?

The facts do not name CFDA programs inside this cell. The filter is agency 075 plus WV place of performance. Medicaid-tagged awards may sit in the $25,913,867,584.23 sum if they carry those tags; other HHS programs may as well. Separate program-tie pages use CFDA codes.

What is the average HHS award in West Virginia?

Dividing $25,913,867,584.23 by 1,691 awards yields about $15.32 million per award. That mean is a concentration statistic, not a typical clinic invoice.

Does this include every federal health dollar in the state?

No. Awards coded to another awarding agency, or to another state, are excluded. Veterans Affairs, Defense health, and other departments are separate filters. $25,913,867,584.23 is the HHS–WV slice only.
