Department of Health and Human Services federal obligations in Wyoming
The Department of Health and Human Services shows $3,504,423,553.17 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Wyoming, across 825 awards. Awarding-agency 075 and Wyoming (WY) are the pair. Eight hundred twenty-five awards is a thin-mid HHS file: more than a handful of fiscal vehicles, far fewer than a USDA assistance flood. The implied mean is about $4.25 million per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical project. USAspending.gov is the source. Amounts are obligations, not outlays.
Key figures
- HHS in Wyoming: $3,504,423,553.17 across 825 USAspending awards.
- Implied mean about $4.25 million per record — a packet quotient, not a typical project.
- Agency 075 × WY is not a measure of Medicaid enrollment, hospital beds, or unique clinics.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
A thin-mid HHS file on Wyoming
Department of Health and Human Services as awarding agency, Wyoming as place-of-performance: 825 records summing to $3,504,423,553.17. A Department of Health and Human Services award coded outside WY is out. An award in Wyoming from a different awarding agency is out even if the topic sounds related. Wyoming (WY) excludes Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, and Idaho. A Denver-coded award is Colorado.
Eight hundred twenty-five awards is a thin-mid HHS file: more than a handful of fiscal vehicles, far fewer than a USDA assistance flood. Unique recipients are unpublished. Do not read 825 as 825 unique Medicaid enrollment, hospital beds, or unique clinics. The overlay Department of Health and Human Services in Wyoming is the both-keys table. Wyoming federal spending is the all-agency state hub. Department of Health and Human Services is the agency book without a WY filter. All spending ties lists other joins.
Cheyenne and Casper are unpublished. Do not treat 825 as a county clinic list. Population size is not a packet fact. Correlation is not causation: Wyoming did not “cause” $3,504,423,553.17 by existing as a large or small place. Population and outcome scores are not packet facts. The join is 075 × WY only.
Not enrollment, beds, or a clinic census
$3,504,423,553.17 does not measure Medicaid enrollment, hospital beds, or unique clinics. Those series are not USAspending fields on this aggregate. The cell sums award obligations with awarding-agency code 075 and a WY place-of-performance tag.
Do not treat 825 awards as a census of Medicaid enrollment, hospital beds, or unique clinics. Parent hubs are supposed to be larger than this pair. If Wyoming federal spending or Department of Health and Human Services matched $3,504,423,553.17 and 825, the join would be pointless. Use the overlay when both keys must stay on. Colorado, Montana, and Utah HHS joins are other pairs, not addends.
Wyoming, not a Mountain West HHS rollup
Place of performance WY is a geography tag on the award, not a metro list and not a commuting zone. Wyoming (WY) excludes Montana, South Dakota, Nebraska, Colorado, Utah, and Idaho. A Denver-coded award is Colorado. Recipient address can differ from that state tag.
Cheyenne and Casper are unpublished. Do not treat 825 as a county clinic list. Population size is not a packet fact. This packet does not split $3,504,423,553.17 by city, county, or named facility. 825 awards stay statewide. A county table would be a different extract.
Formula vehicles versus checks already sent
Even a thick or thin file records obligations, not necessarily outlays. $3,504,423,553.17 can include amounts that pay on a later schedule. Citing it as cash already sent in Wyoming confuses two concepts. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total.
Wyoming’s own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 825-award USAspending file leaves this series. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Keep the obligation label on $3,504,423,553.17.
Citing HHS in Wyoming
Cite USAspending.gov: Department of Health and Human Services (agency 075) obligated $3,504,423,553.17 on 825 awards coded to Wyoming. Name both sides. Keep “obligations.” Do not relabel the total as Medicaid enrollment, hospital beds, or unique clinics.
Prefer Department of Health and Human Services in Wyoming if the overlay has refreshed after an ingest. Wyoming federal spending still includes every other awarding agency tagged to WY. Department of Health and Human Services is the 075 parent without the WY filter. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Do not add those parents into $3,504,423,553.17.
A usable footnote names Department of Health and Human Services, Wyoming, $3,504,423,553.17, and 825. The compact headline $3.50 billion is that same dollar total rounded. It is not a second extract. The implied mean near $4.25 million is $3,504,423,553.17 divided by 825. Means are not medians. USAspending.gov remains the originating system.
