Department of State obligations in Illinois 8th District (IL-08)

What the State–IL-08 join is

Awarding agency 019 and congressional district IL-08 meet here. $137,475,896.39 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of State’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Illinois 8th District (IL-08), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split State bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. 12 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a diplomatic-post census, a passport total, or a named-contractor file.

Dividing $137,475,896.39 by 12 yields about $11,456,324.70 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. Twelve awards against a one-hundred-thirty-seven-million-dollar State cell is a thin file. Do not read 12 as twelve unique vendors. Do not treat IL-08’s 019 cell as a synonym for every State account nationwide. Open Illinois 8th District for the district table without this agency filter, Department of State for agency 019 without the IL-08 filter, Illinois federal spending for every awarding agency in the Illinois extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $137,475,896.39.

Awarding agency 019 as the State side

USAspending labels awarding agency 019 as Department of State. That code produced $137,475,896.39 when crossed with Illinois 8th District (IL-08) place of performance. The agency-wide 019 hub does not require IL-08 geography. The district hub does not require State. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 12 awards. The packet does not split State bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments.

Correlation is not causation: Illinois 8th District (IL-08) did not “cause” $137,475,896.39 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 019 × IL-08 only. It is not a diplomatic-post census, a passport total, or a named-contractor 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.

Illinois 8th District (IL-08) as place of performance

Illinois 8th District (IL-08) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list IL-08 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Illinois districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 019. Illinois 8th District (IL-08) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Illinois. Other Illinois districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 019. Illinois 8th District (IL-08) is a numbered USAspending geography. Place of performance is IL-08, not a diplomatic-post roster and not Illinois statewide State Department spending.

Illinois federal spending shows how agency 019 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $137,475,896.39 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Illinois 8th District (IL-08) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Department of State. The district-wide obligation total published here is $6,951,169,233.12; $137,475,896.39 is the State slice of that denominator.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $137,475,896.39 is that kind of sum for Department of State inside IL-08 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 $137,475,896.39 as given.

Illinois’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 12-row State cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 12 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 ($11,456,324.70) is a concentration statistic, not a typical IL-08 State payment.

How to cite State in IL-08

Cite USAspending.gov: Department of State (agency 019) obligated $137,475,896.39 on 12 awards coded to Illinois 8th District (IL-08). Name Department of State and Illinois 8th District (IL-08) together. Keep the obligation word. If Illinois 8th District or Department of State has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a diplomatic-post census, a passport total, or a named-contractor file. 2.0% of $6,951,169,233.12 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.

Keep Department of State, Illinois 8th District (IL-08), $137,475,896.39, and 12 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Department of State is the 019 parent without a IL-08 filter. Illinois federal spending is the Illinois parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with State does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.

Reading a thin State file in IL-08

Twelve awards against a one-hundred-thirty-seven-million-dollar State cell is a thin file. Do not read 12 as twelve unique vendors. 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 $11,456,324.70) and the district share (2.0% of $6,951,169,233.12) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Illinois 8th District and Department of State if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Illinois 8th District (IL-08) as more State-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 019 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 019 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $137,475,896.39 and 12 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.

Questions

How much State spending is coded to Illinois 8th District (IL-08)?

USAspending.gov lists $137,475,896.39 in Department of State obligations across 12 awards with place of performance in Illinois 8th District (IL-08). Agency 019 × IL-08 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Illinois’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 2.0% of the district’s published total ($6,951,169,233.12). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $11,456,324.70, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $137,475,896.39 include every State program in IL-08?

The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split State bureaus or contract versus assistance instruments. $137,475,896.39 is the combined obligation sum for agency 019 inside IL-08 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Department of State and Illinois 8th District to inspect parent tables. 12 remains an action count, not a program count.

Is $137,475,896.39 cash already paid in Illinois 8th District (IL-08)?

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 $137,475,896.39 as checks already cleared in Illinois 8th District (IL-08) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 12 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.

Where is the live State–IL-08 table?

Illinois 8th District is the district parent and Department of State is the agency parent. Illinois federal spending covers Illinois without the district×agency intersection as the headline. All spending ties lists other pairs. Those hubs are not addends. Keep both sides of the join when citing $137,475,896.39. Place of performance is IL-08. Obligations are not outlays.
