Tennessee 2nd District

SSA × TN-02 is not HHS in TN-05 or TN-09

Tennessee 2nd District (TN-02) stores an SSA cell that is a majority of this district book. HHS cells on TN-05 and TN-09 in this slice are a different awarding agency on different districts. Mixing SSA and HHS invents a combined Tennessee figure the packet never computed. FEC filings do not fund this USAspending cell. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $3,974,941,067.95 on 937 awards for awarding agency 028 with Tennessee 2nd District (TN-02) as place of performance. Treat the pair as a table intersection, not a ranking of districts as winners or losers, and not a claim that 937 awards equal 937 beneficiaries. A Social Security Administration amount tagged to a different district is out of this cell.

HHS, Labor, or Treasury awards that mention income support in a description sit outside $3,974,941,067.95 unless those awards also carry agency 028 and TN-02 geography. Mixing those lines would invent a combined figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and poverty rates or retirement ages is not causation. Those series are not in the packet. Place of performance as TN-02 locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $3,974,941,067.95 in a district treasury. Do not add TN-05 HHS, TN-09 HHS, and TN-02 SSA and call the sum Tennessee. Those are three joins.

937 SSA awards in Tennessee 2nd District

Nine hundred thirty-seven SSA awards is a thick-middle file, close to AR-02's grain on a different state tag. Mean obligation is about $4,242,199.65 if $3,974,941,067.95 were divided evenly across 937 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published typical award. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards, including possible modifications. The extract does not split retirement from disability or SSI inside agency 028. Unique recipients are unpublished.

This page will not invent contractor or recipient names. Open Tennessee 2nd District for the stored district table and Social Security Administration for the national agency shelf. Do not convert 937 into a map of beneficiaries, field offices, or monthly checks inside Tennessee 2nd District. The $3,974,941,067.95 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines on USAspending.gov rather than inferring an inventory.

Questions

How much did SSA obligate in Tennessee 2nd District?

USAspending.gov shows $3,974,941,067.95 in obligations for Social Security Administration (agency 028) with Tennessee 2nd District (TN-02) as place of performance, across 937 awards. The sum is a commitment total, not outlays and not the district's entire income-support budget. Other agencies in the district sit outside this join.

Do 937 awards mean 937 TN-02 beneficiaries?

No. Award count is a row count of USAspending awards and can include continuations. It is not a census of beneficiaries, field offices, or monthly checks. The packet does not name recipients. Mean obligation of about $4,242,199.65 is a quotient, not a typical published award. See Tennessee 2nd District for stored lines.

Is this the same join as HHS in Tennessee 5th or 9th District?

No. The join is awarding agency 028 crossed with TN-02 place of performance. The district-wide book on this extract is $7,203,098,106.02. Related agencies and other districts are not inside $3,974,941,067.95 unless they also carry both keys. Do not add TN-05 HHS, TN-09 HHS, and TN-02 SSA and call the sum Tennessee. Those are three joins.

Is the TN-02 SSA total already paid as monthly benefits?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $3,974,941,067.95 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet. Remaining balances are not in the facts.
