Social Insurance for Railroad Workers in Missouri

Ten thousand eight hundred seventy-five benefit records

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 57.001 meets Missouri place of performance. The dollar book is $1,297,845,098.85. The award count is 10,875. Railroad retirement and related social-insurance payments often post as a high-volume tape of individual benefit actions rather than a handful of formula grants. Ten thousand eight hundred seventy-five records still do not equal 10,875 unique beneficiaries; modifications and recurring payments can share the extract.

The join does not prove that Missouri’s rail-yard geography, Class I headquarters presence, or a particular retirement cohort caused $1,297,845,098.85. Those are other series. This packet does not split retirement annuities from survivor or unemployment insurance inside 57.001. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Missouri’s full federal obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. BEAD is a different catalog number on the same statewide stack. The 10,875 figure is a record count, not a headcount of railroad workers.

High volume, smaller implied mean

Ten thousand eight hundred seventy-five awards under $1,297,845,098.85 imply a mean near $119,342 per award. That average is a blend of larger annuity-related actions and smaller payments. The packet has no median and no share on the largest ten records.

Compared with Missouri’s two-award BEAD cell, 10,875 rows is a much thicker tape for a smaller dollar book. That contrast is a filing pattern: social-insurance benefits post at a finer grain than state broadband allocations. Cite both columns. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical monthly annuity.
