Temporary Assistance for Needy Families obligations in Arizona

State and tribal TANF records in one Arizona cell

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 93.558 meets Arizona place of performance. The dollar book is $1,769,395,490.98. The award count is 37. TANF federal funds typically include the state family-assistance grant plus possible tribal TANF and related 93.558 actions. Thirty-seven records do not equal 37 county offices, and they do not isolate the state share from tribal awards—this packet has no recipient split.

The join does not prove that Arizona’s unemployment, child-poverty share, or time-limit policy caused $1,769,395,490.98. Those are other series. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Arizona’s full HHS obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. Head Start is a different catalog number on the same statewide stack. The 37 figure is a record count, including modifications, not a caseload.

Thirty-seven awards and a blended mean

Thirty-seven awards under $1,769,395,490.98 imply a mean near $47,821,500 per award. A few large state-level actions can dominate that average while smaller tribal or supplemental awards sit below it. The packet has no median.

Cite both volume and dollars. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical monthly cash benefit or as a Maricopa County office budget.

Arizona’s 93.558 cell versus Head Start

Arizona’s state hub stacks every CFDA with performance coded to the state. TANF is one HHS line; Head Start (CFDA 93.600) is another. $1,769,395,490.98 is not Arizona’s all-program total. The nationwide CFDA 93.558 page includes every state, so it is not this cell.

Place-of-performance on a state TANF grant usually sits on Arizona even when county offices administer cases. This packet does not reallocate dollars to counties. Read the overlay as a coding view of 37 awards.

Obligations versus benefit issuances

The $1,769,395,490.98 figure is an obligation sum. State drawdowns and benefit issuances can trail the federal obligation. SpendingVault does not publish a 93.558-in-Arizona outlay total in this packet. Mixing caseload or work-participation statistics with this award file leaves the USAspending series.

Cite the join as CFDA 93.558 × Arizona, $1,769,395,490.98, 37 awards, obligations only.

Tables and parent hubs

The Arizona × Temporary Assistance for Needy Families overlay is the table view. Recipient slices on that hub still sum toward $1,769,395,490.98 on 37 awards. The Arizona spending page and the CFDA 93.558 program page are the parents. The Arizona programs index and the ties index list other pairs.

None of those links convert the cell into caseloads or into outlays this packet omits.

What Arizona TANF is not

Temporary Assistance for Needy Families in Arizona is not a caseload ranking of Maricopa versus rural counties and not a count of families. The $1,769,395,490.98 figure is the CFDA 93.558 × Arizona cell. Thirty-seven awards can include the state block grant plus tribal TANF that still carries 93.558; this packet does not split them. Monthly cash is only one use of TANF.

Head Start in Arizona is a different HHS catalog number. Adding 93.558 and 93.600 from memory is a different query. Cite TANF and Arizona together, keep the obligation label, and keep the 37-award count. Benefit issuances can lag the federal obligation. Later bulk files can revise both dollars and the record count.

Arizona’s TANF cell also does not include tribal-versus-state caseload splits, sanction rates, or EBT issuance files. Those series live with HHS and the state. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov obligations only: CFDA 93.558 × Arizona, $1,769,395,490.98, 37 awards. If a later extract revises the 37-row tape, the implied mean near $47,821,500 moves with it. Quote the packet facts and the overlay path rather than a family-count story.

Keep both sides of the join in any citation: Temporary Assistance for Needy Families and Arizona, obligations only, 37 awards on $1,769,395,490.98.

Is $1.77 billion Arizona’s full federal spending?
