How this list is built

Method & definitions

Unit ranked: the recipient jurisdiction as the PRAC file names it. The 59 include the fifty states, the District of Columbia, Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, the Northern Mariana Islands, and the three freely associated states of Micronesia, the Marshall Islands and Palau.
Metric: obligated dollars funded by COVID-19 supplemental appropriations.
Universe: 59 jurisdictions over 5,596 rows, $826.82B obligated and $808.86B outlayed.
Vintage: PRAC file as downloaded 18 September 2026.

The PRAC publishes a state-and-territory funding table built from USAspending: one row per awarding agency, business type, assistance listing and recipient state, with the obligated and outlayed amounts funded by COVID-19 supplemental appropriations. The archive acquired that file on 18 September 2026. This list groups its rows by recipient state and sums, then ranks by obligations.

What this measures, and what it does not

This is a ranking of dollars, not of need, generosity or per-person benefit. It is not adjusted for population: a per-capita column would change the order substantially, and without a state population table, no per-capita figure is published here.

It is a recipient-state ranking, so it follows where the recipient of record sits, which is not always where the money was spent. A nationwide contractor or a multi-state grantee books to one state. 8 rows in the file carry no jurisdiction at all, $9.4M obligated between them, and they are absent from the table above.

Obligations are commitments; outlays are cash paid. Both columns are reproduced. Neither is a program-by-program total for a state: PPP loans, for instance, enter through the assistance listings USAspending carries, and any program absent from USAspending is absent here.
