IL-01: $712 for each resident without the three Medicare assistance listings, class 2 of 5.
Outlines: US Census Bureau.
An outlay occurs when federal money is actually paid out, not just promised to be paid ("obligated").
The Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) reports financial assistance awards from Medicare programs (Assistance Listing Numbers 93.773, 93.774, and 93.770) as aggregate records corresponding to the amount of money sent to a specific Medicare Administrative Contractor (MAC) in a given month. The recipients listed in these records are “MULTIPLE RECIPIENTS,” but the recipient location and primary place of performance fields in these records correspond to the county where the MAC is located. As such, the location fields for these records do not reflect the places where Medicare beneficiaries or provider physicians/hospitals are located (which are usually in different states than the MAC’s location).
Procurement data (such as for contracts and indefinite delivery vehicles (IDV)) for the Department of Defense (DOD) and U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) are published on a 90-day delay in the Federal Procurement Data System (FPDS).

The amounts on this page are obligations. An obligation is a promise to pay. It is not a payment. USAspending puts a Medicare payment in the county of the payment contractor. The page shows the figure for each resident with and without the three Medicare assistance listings. Contract records of the Department of Defense come late, so a recent month can be low.
