How to read this
- Amounts are obligations (money committed), not outlays (money paid).
- FY2026 is not complete: data as of 2026-09-29.
- Recent defense contracts are undercounted: DoD publishes contract actions with about a 90-day delay, so amounts after 2026-07-01 are incomplete or missing.
- 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).
