Retirement insurance plus California, not every SSA dollar

This page isolates CFDA 96.002 (Social Security Retirement Insurance) and California (CA) place of performance. The $298,352,607,593 total is the USAspending program-by-state aggregate for that pair. Other Social Security listings — disability, survivors, SSI — use different CFDA numbers. An SSA agency-state page uses awarding agency 028 rather than this program code. Mixing those tables with this cell would confuse filters.

Six thousand one hundred ninety-five awards is a thicker book than Medicaid’s California cell on this site, which uses a different CFDA and a different overlay. The comparison is two joins, not one budget. 6,195 is not 6,195 California retirees.

California’s 6,195 records under CFDA 96.002 and $298,352,607,593 are retirement-insurance rows, not a second Medicaid total and not a beneficiary census. Medi-Cal lives on 93.778. People live in SSA’s statistical publications. This join lives at /states/ca/programs/96.002/. Keep those three products in separate sentences when the dollar figure is $298,352,607,593.

CFDA 96.002

Catalog listing 96.002 is Social Security Retirement Insurance. The overlay /states/ca/programs/96.002/ is the table view of this exact pair. The national program page for CFDA 96.002 is the place to see the listing without a California constraint.

This narrative restates 6,195 awards and $298,352,607,593 only. It does not invent a fiscal year, a replacement rate, or a number of beneficiaries. Those fields are not in the packet facts.
