Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program obligations in North Carolina

What the 10.551–North Carolina join is

CFDA 10.551 is titled SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM. Crossed with North Carolina place of performance, obligations sum to $6,840,578,338.11 on 3 awards. The national SNAP hub includes other states. North Carolina’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $6,840,578,338.11 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of SNAP households in Charlotte, Raleigh, or the mountains.

Three awards is a concentrated formula-assistance pattern: SNAP often posts as a small number of large instruments to a state agency that then issues benefits. The join does not name DHHS, list retailers, or count eligible people. Packet facts stop at $6,840,578,338.11, 3 awards, NC, and 10.551. A Michigan 10.551 cell is a different state join, not an addend.

10.551 is not school lunch or WIC

National School Lunch Program (CFDA 10.555) and WIC are different USDA catalogs. Mixing those dollars into $6,840,578,338.11 would invent a broader nutrition total than this cell contains. SNAP employment and training and other 10.xxx lines use other numbers still. Facts available: North Carolina, CFDA 10.551, $6,840,578,338.11, 3 awards. Caseload and benefit-issuance counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, not a ranking of county food insecurity. Dividing $6,840,578,338.11 by 3 yields about $2.28 billion per award—a statewide pass-through scale, not a typical monthly SNAP allotment. Unique recipients are unpublished. 3 is not a count of grocery stores.

North Carolina geography on the SNAP tag

NC is the place-of-performance code. A SNAP award can still appear as records tagged to Raleigh, Charlotte, or another in-state address. Awards coded to South Carolina, Virginia, or Tennessee stay outside $6,840,578,338.11 even when a household lives in a cross-border metro. The code does not convert $6.84 billion into a county map.

North Carolina federal spending is the all-program parent. 10.551 is one row on North Carolina programs. $6.84 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in North Carolina for the filtered table, CFDA 10.551 for 10.551 without a North Carolina filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $6,840,578,338.11.

Reading 3 awards under $6.84 billion

$6,840,578,338.11 ÷ 3 is about $2.28 billion per award. That average is a state-pass-through scale, not a typical household benefit and not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 3 as a record count, not as 3 finished nutrition programs.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $6,840,578,338.11 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 3 rows are continuations, corrections, or annual issuances. Later ingests can restate $6,840,578,338.11 without changing the join key of 10.551 and NC.

What the SNAP–North Carolina pair does not prove

A large 10.551 total tagged to North Carolina does not measure whether households were food-secure, and it does not equal benefits redeemed. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $6,840,578,338.11 on 3 awards for SNAP in North Carolina.

Keep both sides of the join: Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program and North Carolina, obligations only. Do not annualize $6,840,578,338.11 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 3 as a household census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a hunger story.

Using the 10.551–North Carolina overlay

The overlay target is the North Carolina × CFDA 10.551 table. Open Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in North Carolina when you want the same $6,840,578,338.11 / 3-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 10.551 drops the North Carolina filter. North Carolina federal spending drops the CFDA filter. North Carolina programs lists other catalogs beside SNAP. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that North Carolina won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 10.551 plus NC. Obligations of $6,840,578,338.11 are not outlays.
