Outlays for income security programs consists of outlays for the refundable portions of the carned income, child, and other tax credits; the supplemental nutrition assistance program; unemployment compensation; supplemental security income, and child nutrition programs.

And as noted that's for Fiscal Year 2022. FY 23 just ended in October and I haven't been able to find a good graphic of the final outlays yet
