Supplemental Security Income in New Jersey

How New Jersey meets the SSI catalog

CFDA 96.006 is titled SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME. Crossed with New Jersey place of performance, obligations sum to $3,260,965,028 on 1,845 awards. The national Supplemental Security Income hub includes other states. New Jersey’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $3,260,965,028 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a field-office directory or a payee list.

1,845 rows is denser than a handful of statewide lumps and thinner than a person-level file. The implied mean of about $1.77 million per award is a payment-batch scale, not a typical monthly SSI check. The join does not name recipients, list contractors, or invent donor names. Packet facts stop at $3,260,965,028, 1,845 awards, NJ, and 96.006. Correlation is not causation. New Jersey’s 1,845-row SSI cell is denser than a statewide lump and still far from a person-level file, so the $3,260,965,028 total cannot be read as 1,845 monthly checks.

Needs-tested SSI versus other SSA rows

The catalog title names Supplemental Security Income. It is not Social Security retirement or disability insurance (those are different SSA catalogs). Mixing other catalogs into $3,260,965,028 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: New Jersey, CFDA 96.006, $3,260,965,028, 1,845 awards. Recipient names, invoices, and caseload counts are not in the facts.

Dividing $3,260,965,028 by 1,845 yields about $1.77 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1,845 is a USAspending award-record count, not a person, school, clinic, or contractor census.
