Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Health & Human Services discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Health & Human Services's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Reimburses states for the administrative costs of operating child support enforcement programs that locate parents, establish parentage, and collect support.
Extracted from Administration for Children, Families, and Communities, p. 12. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
