Social Security Retirement Insurance in Arkansas

Arkansas x 96.002 is a retirement-insurance join, not a census

This page pairs CFDA 96.002, SOCIAL SECURITY RETIREMENT INSURANCE, with Arkansas place of performance. The listing is Social Security Retirement Insurance as an SSA assistance catalog line, not a person-level beneficiary file. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $27,645,182,818 on 4,165 awards. The extract does not list retirees, field offices, or monthly checks. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more need, and not a claim that 4,165 awards equal 4,165 separate local offices.

Social Security Disability Insurance, SSI, or Medicare listings sit outside $27,645,182,818 unless they also carry 96.002. Mixing retirement insurance with disability or SSI would invent a combined Social Security figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and the share of residents over 65 is not causation. Age-structure figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Arkansas locates the tagged awards; it does not prove every dollar was paid to a resident of that state as a monthly check. Arkansas as place of performance locates the tagged awards; it is not a Delta ranking.

4,165 awards behind $27.6 billion

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible continuations, amendments, and payment-file batches. It is not a census of retirees, field offices, or monthly checks. Mean obligation is about $6,637,498.88 if $27,645,182,818 were divided evenly across 4,165 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published monthly benefit, and not a typical retiree's check. The packet has no worker-versus-spouse/survivor split inside 96.002. A 4,165-line file is large enough that readers should sort the overlay by amount rather than reading this page as a complete roster.

4,165 lines belong on the overlay table, not in a narrative roster. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Social Security Retirement Insurance in Arkansas for the stored table. Do not convert 4,165 into a map of Arkansas sites. The $27,645,182,818 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a census.

Questions

How much Social Security Retirement Insurance funding is obligated in Arkansas?

USAspending.gov shows $27,645,182,818 in obligations for CFDA 96.002 with Arkansas as place of performance, across 4,165 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not the state's entire income-security budget. Other listings are outside this join unless they also carry 96.002.

Do 4,165 awards mean 4,165 Arkansas retirees?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include payment-file batches and adjustments. It is not a beneficiary or field-office census. The packet does not name people. See the Arkansas 96.002 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this Arkansas's entire federal Social Security funding?

No. The join is CFDA 96.002, Social Security Retirement Insurance, crossed with Arkansas place of performance. Disability insurance, SSI, and Medicare use different CFDA numbers. Those dollars are not inside $27,645,182,818 unless the award also carries 96.002.

Is $27.6 billion already paid as Arkansas retirement checks?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $27,645,182,818 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Monthly deposits to individuals are not published in this packet.
