WIC nutrition program obligations in Texas

The 10.557–Texas join

CFDA 10.557 is titled WIC SPECIAL SUPPLEMENTAL NUTRITION PROGRAM FOR WOMEN, INFANTS, AND CHILDREN. Crossed with Texas place of performance, obligations sum to $2,798,921,369.54 on 14 awards. The national Wic Special Supplemental Nutrition Program For Women, Infants, And Children hub includes other states. Texas’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $2,798,921,369.54 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a clinic directory or a participant census.

14 awards is a concentrated nutrition-program pattern. The implied mean of about $199.92 million per award is a state-agency scale, not a typical food-package value. The join does not name recipients, list contractors, or invent donor names. Packet facts stop at $2,798,921,369.54, 14 awards, TX, and 10.557. Correlation is not causation.

WIC is not SNAP in this cell

The catalog title names Wic Special Supplemental Nutrition Program For Women, Infants, And Children. It is not SNAP, school lunch, or TANF (those are different catalogs). Mixing other catalogs into $2,798,921,369.54 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Texas, CFDA 10.557, $2,798,921,369.54, 14 awards. Recipient names, invoices, and caseload counts are not in the facts.

Dividing $2,798,921,369.54 by 14 yields about $199.92 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 14 is a USAspending award-record count, not a person, school, clinic, or contractor census.

Texas geography on the WIC tag

TX is the place-of-performance code. Awards coded to Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, or Arkansas stay outside $2,798,921,369.54 even when a participant later moves. A statewide WIC award can still appear as records tagged to Austin or another in-state address. The code does not convert $2,798,921,369.54 into a county map or a ranking of places as winners or losers.

Texas federal spending is the all-program parent. 10.557 is one row on Texas programs. $2,798,921,369.54 is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Wic Special Supplemental Nutrition Program For Women, Infants, And Children in Texas for the filtered table, CFDA 10.557 for 10.557 without a Texas filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $2,798,921,369.54.

Fourteen awards under $2.80 billion

$2,798,921,369.54 ÷ 14 is about $199.92 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 14 as a record count.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $2,798,921,369.54 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 14 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $2,798,921,369.54 without changing the join key of 10.557 and TX.

What WIC in Texas does not prove

A 10.557 total tagged to Texas does not measure program quality, and it does not equal cash already paid. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $2,798,921,369.54 on 14 awards for Wic Special Supplemental Nutrition Program For Women, Infants, And Children in Texas.

Keep both sides of the join: Wic Special Supplemental Nutrition Program For Women, Infants, And Children and Texas, obligations only. Do not annualize $2,798,921,369.54 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 14 as a person or contractor census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a policy story.
