Louisiana 3rd District

A two-sided USAspending join: SSA survivors and LA-03

CFDA 96.004 and congressional district LA-03 meet here. $364,832,520 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Social Security Survivors Insurance’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Louisiana 3rd District (LA-03), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split widow from child survivor categories and does not publish a beneficiary denominator. 252 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a survivor census, a claims roster, or a named-beneficiary file.

Dividing $364,832,520 by 252 yields about $1,447,748.10 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical monthly benefit or a posted per-beneficiary figure. 252 awards is a thick survivors file. Volume pulls the implied mean down. Recipients remain unpublished. Tennessee 1st reuses 96.004 on a different stamp. Do not treat LA-03’s 96.004 cell as a synonym for every SSA survivors account nationwide. Open Louisiana 3rd District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 96.004 for CFDA 96.004 without the LA-03 filter, Louisiana federal spending for every program in the Louisiana extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $364,832,520.

Social Security Survivors Insurance as a CFDA tag, not a vendor list

USAspending labels CFDA 96.004 as Social Security Survivors Insurance. That catalog number produced $364,832,520 when crossed with Louisiana 3rd District (LA-03) place of performance. The program-wide 96.004 hub does not require LA-03 geography. The district hub does not require SSA survivors. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 252 awards. The packet does not split widow from child survivor categories and does not publish a beneficiary denominator.

Correlation is not causation: Louisiana 3rd District (LA-03) did not “cause” $364,832,520 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 96.004 × LA-03 only. It is not a survivor census, a claims roster, or a named-beneficiary file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

USAspending.gov lists $364,832,520 in Social Security Survivors Insurance obligations across 252 awards with place of performance in Louisiana 3rd District (LA-03). CFDA 96.004 × LA-03 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Louisiana’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 5.0% of the district’s published total ($7,336,125,417.11). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1,447,748.10, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $364,832,520 include every SSA survivors project in LA-03?

The packet does not split widow from child survivor categories and does not publish a beneficiary denominator. $364,832,520 is the combined obligation sum for CFDA 96.004 inside LA-03 coding. This page will not invent a project pie or name contractors. Open CFDA 96.004 and Louisiana 3rd District to inspect parent tables. 252 remains an action count, not a count of beneficiaries, claims, or SSA offices.

Is $364,832,520 cash already paid in Louisiana 3rd District (LA-03)?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline. Treating $364,832,520 as checks already cleared in Louisiana 3rd District (LA-03) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 252 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.

Is Louisiana 3rd District (LA-03) ranked against other Louisiana districts here?
