TANF is not SNAP or SSI in this cell

Texas geography on the TANF tag

TX is the place-of-performance code. Awards coded to Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, or Arkansas stay outside $3,032,398,453.04 even when a household later moves. A statewide TANF award can still appear as records tagged to Austin or another in-state address. The code does not convert $3,032,398,453.04 into a county map or a ranking of places as winners or losers.

Texas federal spending is the all-program parent. 93.558 is one row on Texas programs. $3,032,398,453.04 is not the state’s complete federal footprint.

Six block-grant-scale instruments

$3,032,398,453.04 ÷ 6 is about $505.40 million per award. That average is not a median and not a typical household, student, or meal payment. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 6 as a record count. Texas WIC, child-care, and refugee-assistance cells in this slice are different catalogs and are not mixed into the TANF total.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $3,032,398,453.04 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 6 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $3,032,398,453.04 without changing the join key of 93.558 and TX.
