Social Security Retirement Insurance in Massachusetts

The 96.002 and Massachusetts filters together

The program key is CFDA 96.002. The geography key is Massachusetts (MA). Their overlap is $63,763,194,965 and 1,465 records. A 96.002 award tagged to a neighboring state is out of this cell. A Massachusetts award under disability insurance (96.001) or survivors insurance (96.004) is a different join, even though those catalog numbers also sit in the SSA family. This page does not add those siblings to the $63,763,194,965.

1,465 awards against $63,763,194,965 produces a mean of about $43,524,365.16 per record. That mean is a quotient of packet facts, not a typical monthly benefit and not a typical Massachusetts retiree’s annual check. Large assistance vehicles and modifications can dominate dollars while the row count stays in the thousands rather than in the millions of people. 1,465 awards is a thinner grain than several larger-state 96.002 cells; it remains a row count, not a retiree census.

Boston did not cause the $63,763,194,965 by appearing as a state code, and SSA did not “award Massachusetts” in a sense this extract can prove. Matching a CFDA to a state is not causation. The overlay Social Security Retirement Insurance in Massachusetts is the live table for the same pair.

What CFDA 96.002 is on this page—and what SSA publications are not

Every dollar in the $63,763,194,965 carries the retirement-insurance catalog title. CFDA 96.002 is the national program hub with the Massachusetts filter removed. This packet does not include a national total, so Massachusetts is not given a share of a U.S. figure. SSA statistical supplements that count beneficiaries by state are a different series; they are not the 1,465 USAspending.gov rows.

Trust Fund ratios, average monthly benefits, and COLA announcements live in other SSA products. Placing any of those next to $63,763,194,965 would mix files. This page stays with the award aggregate.

Questions

How much Social Security Retirement Insurance is obligated in Massachusetts?

USAspending.gov records $63,763,194,965 in CFDA 96.002 obligations across 1,465 awards coded to Massachusetts. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not Massachusetts’s full federal total.

Is 1,465 a count of Massachusetts retirees?

No. It is an award-row count. $63,763,194,965 ÷ 1,465 is about $43,524,365.16 per record as a mean, not a typical monthly benefit. Beneficiary statistics live in other SSA publications.

Does this include disability or survivors insurance?

No. The cell is CFDA 96.002 only. Other SSA catalog numbers are separate joins. The $63,763,194,965 does not swallow those programs.

Where is the live overlay?

Social Security Retirement Insurance in Massachusetts is the overlay. See Massachusetts federal spending, Massachusetts programs, CFDA 96.002, and All spending ties. Later bulk files override this snapshot.
