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.
- This is what the sub-agency obligated, not what it was appropriated and not what it paid out. A sub-agency can obligate money in one year that Treasury pays out over several.
- This page covers every sub-agency 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.
