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

This page pairs CFDA 96.002, SOCIAL SECURITY RETIREMENT INSURANCE, with Kentucky 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: $39,018,749,674 on 7,203 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 7,203 awards equal 7,203 separate local offices.

Social Security Disability Insurance, SSI, or Medicare listings sit outside $39,018,749,674 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 Kentucky locates the tagged awards; it does not prove every dollar was paid to a resident of that state as a monthly check. Kentucky as place of performance locates the tagged awards; it is not an Appalachian ranking.

7,203 awards behind $39.0 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 $5,417,013.70 if $39,018,749,674 were divided evenly across 7,203 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 7,203-line file is large enough that readers should sort the overlay by amount rather than reading this page as a complete roster.

7,203 lines belong on the overlay table, not in a narrative roster. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Social Security Retirement Insurance in Kentucky for the stored table. Do not convert 7,203 into a map of Kentucky sites. The $39,018,749,674 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a census.
