Social Security Disability Insurance — CFDA 96.001 obligations

What CFDA 96.001’s $377.21 billion measures

Assistance listing 96.001 is titled SOCIAL SECURITY DISABILITY INSURANCE in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $377,213,392,719. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $377,213,392,719 as cash already paid to disabled workers mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

185,429 awards sit under that dollar figure. Dividing $377,213,392,719 by 185,429 produces a mean near $2.03 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical monthly SSDI benefit and not an average award at the Disability Determination Services. The hub does not publish a median.

185,429 awards without a recipient roster

The extract lists 185,429 awards and 0 recipients for CFDA 96.001. Award count is a record tally in the assistance files. Recipient count is how many organizational recipients the index stores. A recipient count of 0 is a file statistic. It is not a claim that no one received disability insurance, and it is not a count of allowed claims.

Readers should not infer a beneficiary list from the $377,213,392,719 total. The 185,429-award tally still describes volume. Repeat actions can increment that tally without creating a recipient row. Cite both numbers when the disability-insurance figure is reused.

59 states in the SSDI extract

USAspending.gov place-of-performance coding for CFDA 96.001 reaches 59 states in this extract. That geographic span is a count of coded jurisdictions, not a map of every disabled worker, and not a forecast. The $377,213,392,719 obligation total is the dollar book behind that map. Later assistance files can change both dollars and the 59-state count.

A national action coded to one jurisdiction can dominate a cell while beneficiaries live elsewhere. Read the 96.001 program hub first, then any state split, rather than treating a single state row as the full disability-insurance story.

Obligations are not SSDI outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $377,213,392,719 figure for CFDA 96.001 can include commitments that will disburse later. SSA disability statistical tables, trust-fund reports, and a single fiscal year’s appropriation are different publications. This page does not convert the obligation total into those series.

Keep the 185,429-award count and the 0-recipient count in view so the dollar total is not mistaken for a beneficiary census or a cash-paid sum. Nothing on the hub is an eligibility determination.

How to read the CFDA 96.001 hub

Start with the Social Security Disability Insurance program page, then the all-programs index to place 96.001 among other listings. Both views still describe USAspending.gov obligations, not outlays. Ranking this listing on dollars alone hides the 185,429-award volume and the empty recipient field.

A complete citation is $377,213,392,719 in obligations for CFDA 96.001, covering 185,429 awards and 59 states, with 0 indexed recipients, drawn from USAspending.gov assistance awards on SpendingVault. Name the series as obligations. Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing total.

A worked reading of the 96.001 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $377,213,392,719, 185,429 awards, 0 recipients, and 59 states under CFDA 96.001. The mean near $2.03 million is a quotient, not a typical monthly SSDI benefit. If a later USAspending.gov file adds award rows faster than dollars, the mean falls; if a few giant assistance actions post, the mean rises without a matching jump in the 185,429 count. The empty recipient field is not an allowed-claim census.

Nothing in the extract assigns the $377,213,392,719 book to disabled workers versus auxiliaries, or to initial awards versus continuing payments. Those cuts require SSA publications. Treat CFDA 96.001 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the disability-insurance hub, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Keep 185,429 awards in the citation so the dollar total is not read as a person count.

Readers comparing CFDA 96.001 across extracts should keep the 185,429-award count and the 59-state geography in the same sentence as $377,213,392,719. Dropping either volume fact turns the obligation total into a floating headline. SpendingVault’s program hub is the place to verify that the current file still carries those four packet facts, including the 0-recipient field.
