What this data cannot show
- An obligation is a binding commitment to pay, not money paid. Outlays are reported separately and the two are never equal in the same year.
- Assistance only — grants, loans, direct payments and insurance. Contracts carry no Assistance Listing number and are not in this figure.
- This page covers every assistance program the publisher reported and not only the largest hundred the ranking names. Both come from the same download of the publisher’s data, on the date above.
