American Samoa · U.S. House at-large seat (119th Congress boundaries)
American Samoa’s at-large district
Federal figures in this district: Social Security and VA
Two federal agencies’ published figures for this district. They are shown as published. They are not a ranking and not a score.
Read this first. Districts differ in population and age, so two districts’ totals are not comparable without a per-person figure. PORKER does not show per-resident figures for these two sources yet, so it shows totals only, and districts are always listed in district-number order, never by amount.

Read this first. These count people receiving benefits, assigned to the district by SSA using U.S. Postal Service geographic data on 119th Congress boundaries. Someone who receives both programs is counted in both. The numbers are not a measure of how many people “depend” on a program. SSA publishes one row for this place, which is the whole at-large district.

Federal award obligations in this district
Contracts, grants, direct payments and loans whose place of performance is in AS at-large, by federal fiscal year. Obligations, not outlays.
Read this first. “Obligated” means the government committed the money in an award action (a contract, grant, payment or loan). It is not the same as money paid out, and not the same as “spending”. USAspending places each action in a district by the place of performance on the award. That is often where work is administered or goods are shipped from, not where people benefit, so district attribution is approximate and one large action can move a district’s figure a lot. These are totals for the district, not for its member of Congress, and PORKER never ranks members or districts by amount.
What kind of awards, per person

What kind of awards
Five fiscal years side by side
How much USAspending places in a district. For FY2025, nationwide, USAspending also places this share of each state-level total in a district: contracts 100%, grants 24%, direct payments 54%, all award types 54%. The rest has no district on the award record (for example, grants to a state government or payments to individuals recorded at state level). So grant and direct-payment amounts shown for a district are only part of the picture and are not comparable with contract amounts.
This district compared with its state and the nation, FY2025, per person
All three bars use the same district-level data, so they are like for like. A district with a large installation, headquarters or distribution centre can look high or low for reasons unrelated to its residents. The bars are context, not a verdict.
Awarding agencies, FY2025 (largest first)
- Department of Health and Human Services $146.7 million
- Department of Agriculture $76.9 million
- Social Security Administration $72.1 million
- Department of Energy $55.2 million
- Environmental Protection Agency $48.3 million
Recipients named on the awards, FY2025 (largest first)
- American Samoa Medicaid Agency $103.9 million
- American Samoa Government $75.6 million
- Multiple Recipients $74.9 million
- American Samoa Department Of Education $47.2 million
- American Samoa Power Authority $38.4 million
Bars are the share of this district’s FY2025 total ($528.1 million). A recipient is the organisation named on the award; where the money is then used can differ.
Evidence
- Publisher
- U.S. Department of the Treasury, USAspending.gov
- What the number is
- Sum of federal award-action obligations (contracts, grants, direct payments, loans) dated within the fiscal year (Oct 1 to Sep 30), by place of performance. USAspending field: spending_level=“transactions”, scope=“place_of_performance”.
- What it is not
- Not outlays (money paid out), not the lifetime value of awards, and a year’s net figure can be reduced by later changes that cancel earlier obligations, not spending by the district’s member, and not where the benefit lands.
- Per person
- Amount divided by the district population, both as supplied by USAspending in the same response (“per_capita”). PORKER does not re-compute it. USAspending does not state the population year.
- Geography
- AS , 119th Congress boundaries as used by USAspending. Actions with no district are not counted in any district.
