DATA INTEGRITY STATEMENT

Source Data: The backend identifies the outlay series as USAspending File B gross outlays. Its source statement identifies Treasury MTS receipts and USAspending budgetary resources as separate series. File B gross outlays drive function rows and the headline when present. Treasury net outlays remain the funding/receipts denominator. Offsetting receipts stay on the Treasury net basis and must not be percentage-normalized into the File B gross total. Snapshot updatedAt/fetchedAt: 2026-07-02T13:04:04.910206+00:00.

Scope: File B gross outlays are not Treasury MTS net cash outlays and should not be mixed with them. Open a budget function to see the full File B tree.
