Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program funding in Pennsylvania

Pennsylvania × 10.551 is a SNAP join, not a household census

This page pairs CFDA 10.551, SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION ASSISTANCE PROGRAM, with Pennsylvania place of performance. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $9,849,774,368.62 on 3 awards. The join is USDA's SNAP listing crossed with a Pennsylvania location field, not Pennsylvania's entire nutrition book and not a count of SNAP households. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking, and not a claim that 3 awards equal that many SNAP households, EBT cards, or grocery stores.

School meals, WIC, and other nutrition CFDA lines sit outside this total unless they also carry 10.551. Correlation between this obligation sum and local need statistics is not causation. Those statistics are not in the packet. Pennsylvania (PA) excludes New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia. A New Jersey SNAP award is another cell. Place of performance as Pennsylvania locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $9,849,774,368.62 in the state treasury.

Three awards carrying a $9.85 billion book

Mean obligation is about $3.28 billion if $9,849,774,368.62 were divided evenly across 3 lines. That ratio is a quotient of two packet facts, not a published typical award. Three records against $9,849,774,368.62 is a classic state-agency SNAP file: a handful of large assistance vehicles, not thousands of household rows. Award count is a row count, including possible continuations. It is not a census of SNAP households, EBT cards, or grocery stores.

Three awards are scannable on the overlay. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program in Pennsylvania for the stored table. Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and the rest of the Commonwealth are unpublished. Three awards are not three county offices. The $9,849,774,368.62 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards.

SNAP obligations are not EBT already spent at stores

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. The $9,849,774,368.62 headline is the obligation sum, not EBT already redeemed at retailers. No fiscal year is attached in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Citing the figure as cash already sent in Pennsylvania confuses two USAspending concepts.

Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. Pennsylvania's own budget is a different ledger. Mixing it with the 3-award USAspending file leaves this series. Keep the obligation label on $9,849,774,368.62. Campaign contributions recorded on FEC.gov do not fund this USAspending cell.

What the Pennsylvania 10.551 table omits

The extract has no roster of SNAP households, EBT cards, or grocery stores. Facts remain $9,849,774,368.62, 3 awards, CFDA 10.551, and Pennsylvania. This page will not invent a county league table. Sibling 10.551 joins in other states are separate obligation totals, not a better or worse score. Pennsylvania (PA) excludes New Jersey, New York, Ohio, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia. A New Jersey SNAP award is another cell.

Pennsylvania federal spending and Pennsylvania programs place 10.551 among other listings. CFDA 10.551 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA × state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of Pennsylvania spending the packet never computed. The $9,849,774,368.62 figure is the tagged pair only.
