Social Security Survivors Insurance in Pennsylvania

A second Social Security join on the PA tag

Keep USAspending rows labeled SOCIAL SECURITY SURVIVORS INSURANCE whose geography is Pennsylvania (PA). Five thousand one hundred sixty awards remain. They sum to $11,863,111,063. Survivors insurance pays eligible family members of deceased insured workers. The extract counts CFDA 96.004 award actions, not obituaries and not a county caseload.

The implied mean is about $2,299,100 per award. As on other Title II cells, the prime file can post large assistance actions rather than one row per monthly check. Unique survivors are unpublished.

Pennsylvania federal spending is every CFDA on PA. CFDA 96.004 is survivors insurance nationwide. Social Security Survivors Insurance in Pennsylvania is the overlap. Pennsylvania programs and All spending ties are the indexes. The SSDI overlay on 96.001 is a different pair.

Pennsylvania SSDI (96.001) is a different join with its own dollar total. Survivors insurance is 96.004. A reader who combines them without labeling both Catalog numbers has left this page’s contract.

Spouses, children, and other eligible survivors are not split in the facts. $11,863,111,063 is the obligation sum, not a family-type table.

Do not add survivors to SSDI and call it Social Security

Adding $11,863,111,063 to the Pennsylvania SSDI total would be arithmetic on two joins, not a published SSA series. Retirement, disability, survivors, and SSI use separate Catalog numbers. This page keeps 96.004 only.

Place-of-performance can follow administration or beneficiary geography. A PA tag does not prove every survivor lives in Pennsylvania. This page will not relocate people from the dollar total.

5,160 actions sit near New York’s 5,225-row 96.004 file in texture. That resemblance is bookkeeping, not a finding that the two states have similar survivor populations.

A lump-sum death payment coded elsewhere is outside this cell. Do not assume it sits inside 5,160 awards.
