The join does not name recipients, split the I-95 corridor and the Capitol region, or count caseloads, families, or county offices. Packet facts stop at $1,470,307,415.38, 6 awards, CT, and 93.558. Correlation is not causation.

93.558 is not SNAP or CCDBG in Connecticut

SNAP state administrative matching (and other nutrition catalogs) and child-care block grants sit on other Catalog numbers. Mixing those dollars into $1,470,307,415.38 would invent a broader total than this 93.558 × CT cell contains. Facts available: Connecticut, CFDA 93.558, $1,470,307,415.38, 6 awards. Recipient names, subawards, and caseload, family, or county office counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Temporary Assistance For Needy Families, not a ranking of Connecticut outcomes. Dividing $1,470,307,415.38 by 6 yields about $245.05 million per award—a TANF block-grant instrument, not a typical monthly cash benefit. Unique recipients are unpublished. 6 is not a count of caseloads, families, or county offices.
