Medical Assistance Program federal funding in the District of Columbia
Medical Assistance Program (CFDA 93.778) shows $11,800,339,488 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to District of Columbia, on 12 awards. Twelve rows can still carry an eleven-figure Medicaid book when the award file stores large federal-to-state vehicles. This page is a catalog-program × jurisdiction join, not an enrollment census and not an outlay conversion. USAspending.gov is the source table.
Key figures
- CFDA 93.778 × District of Columbia records $11,800,339,488 in USAspending obligations.
- 12 awards sit under that sum; the mean is about $983,361,624 per record, not a typical unit.
- Matching Medical Assistance to District of Columbia is not causation and not an enrollment census.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
Twelve awards on the District Medicaid catalog line
CFDA 93.778 is Medical Assistance Program. District of Columbia (DC) is the place-of-performance jurisdiction. Their intersection is $11,800,339,488 and 12 records. A 93.778 award tagged to Maryland or Virginia is not here. A District of Columbia award under Medicare, SNAP, or CHIP is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the $11,800,339,488.
Twelve awards against $11,800,339,488 yields a mean of about $983,361,624 per record. That mean is arithmetic on packet facts, not a typical beneficiary year and not a typical provider claim. Federal-to-state Medicaid vehicles can dominate dollars while the row count stays at 12. This packet does not name the recipients of the 12 rows.
The District did not win the total by appearing as DC. Neighboring Maryland and Virginia awards stay outside this cell even if a hospital campus sits on the boundary. Matching 93.778 to DC is not causation. The overlay Medical Assistance Program in District of Columbia is the live table.
Medical Assistance as a catalog title, not a city budget
The official catalog title is MEDICAL ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. SpendingVault does not grade District of Columbia’s Medicaid system, its backlog, or its policy model. $11,800,339,488 is an obligation sum, not a policy verdict. CFDA 93.778 is the national hub without the District of Columbia filter. This packet has no national Medicaid total, so none is quoted.
CMS-64 expenditure reports, T-MSIS enrollment files, and state Medicaid dashboards are other series. They are not the 12 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing a census from those files with this join would invent a per-person dollar figure the packet does not support. District hospital and alliance-program folklore is ordinary speech, not a packet field.
The District’s federal book besides 93.778
District of Columbia federal spending covers every CFDA coded to the jurisdiction. District of Columbia programs is the catalog directory. $11,800,339,488 is one cell. Quoting it as District of Columbia’s entire federal book would drop Medicare, SNAP, or CHIP and every other line that also hits the jurisdiction.
Place-of-performance District of Columbia on a Medicaid vehicle is often an agency or payment-center address. It is not a map of where people live. This packet has no county split of the $11,800,339,488 and no congressional-district cut. Washington did not receive $11,800,339,488 as a named metro.
Obligation versus FMAP draws in the District
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $11,800,339,488 is the commitment figure. This page does not convert the 12 awards into cash flows, enrollment census counts, or Treasury deposits. Keep the citation on USAspending.gov CFDA aggregates by place of performance jurisdiction.
The District budget documents and jurisdiction-level appropriations answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes General Fund activity with CFDA 93.778, the chart has left the federal award series. Ward-level folklore is not a split in this packet. Place-of-performance DC can be an agency address, not a map of where enrollees live.
How to cite the 93.778–District of Columbia join
Cite: Medical Assistance Program (CFDA 93.778) obligated $11,800,339,488 on 12 awards coded to District of Columbia, per USAspending.gov. Keep both keys. Keep “obligations.” Do not invent a fiscal year. All spending ties stores this pair with other program-by-state pages.
Later bulk files can move the dollars and the 12-award count. Prefer the overlay Medical Assistance Program in District of Columbia when the live table and this snapshot diverge. The JSON is a packet, not a second official ledger. CFDA 93.778, District of Columbia federal spending, District of Columbia programs, and All spending ties are the parent hubs, not competing sums.
What 12 District rows will not be asked to prove
This page will not treat 12 awards as 12 people, 12 facilities, or 12 local programs. It will not compute a per-capita figure because the packet has no population. It will not rank District of Columbia against Maryland or Virginia on Medicaid. Peer totals are not in these facts.
Medicare, SNAP, or CHIP remain outside $11,800,339,488 even though those programs also appear as District of Columbia joins. Adding any of them would manufacture a homemade combined total this packet does not publish. The mean of about $983,361,624 per record will mislead anyone who treats it as a typical beneficiary year and not a typical provider claim. There is no beneficiary or project census here.
USAspending.gov award counts increment when a new award is recorded and when a modification is stored as its own line, depending on how the bulk file is rolled up. They do not increment when a District of Columbia resident enrolls, files, or starts a project. Treating 12 as a enrollment census would collapse two measurement systems. $11,800,339,488 stays an obligation sum on those rows. Keep the overlay Medical Assistance Program in District of Columbia as the live cell if later ingests move dollars or the 12-award count. Correlation is not causation.
Questions
- How much Medical Assistance is obligated in District of Columbia?
- USAspending.gov records $11,800,339,488 in CFDA 93.778 obligations across 12 awards coded to District of Columbia. That is a program × jurisdiction join, not an outlay and not District of Columbia’s full federal total. Keep both the program name and District of Columbia in any citation. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
- Can 12 awards hold $11,800,339,488?
- Award count is a row count. $11,800,339,488 ÷ 12 is about $983,361,624 per record as a mean, not a typical beneficiary year and not a typical provider claim. Federal-to-state Medicaid vehicles can dominate dollars. This packet does not list recipients. See Medical Assistance Program in District of Columbia for the stored table.
- Is this District of Columbia Medicaid enrollment?
- No. The $11,800,339,488 and 12 awards are USAspending.gov obligation records for CFDA 93.778 with a District of Columbia geography tag. Enrollment lives in other CMS and state Medicaid publications, not in this USAspending.gov cell. Mixing those files with this join would invent a figure the packet does not support.
- Where is the live overlay?
- Medical Assistance Program in District of Columbia is the overlay. See District of Columbia federal spending, District of Columbia programs, CFDA 93.778, and All spending ties. Later bulk files override this snapshot. Keep the obligation label on $11,800,339,488. Do not invent a fiscal year; this packet publishes none.
