How to read this
- Amounts are obligations (money committed), not outlays (money paid).
- Location is where the work is performed, not where the recipient is based.
- Medicare payments are published as aggregate records placed where Medicare's claims contractors are (mostly Minnesota, Indiana, Pennsylvania, Kentucky, North Dakota, Connecticut, Florida and South Carolina), not where patients live, so those states show far more HHS money than their population suggests (ask for Medicare payments by patients' home state for where beneficiaries live).
- Award types follow USAspending: grants include cooperative agreements; direct payments include benefits such as Social Security and Medicare; other = insurance and other assistance.
