Supplemental Security Income in Pennsylvania

SSI on a Pennsylvania tag, distinct from SSDI

Keep USAspending rows labeled SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME whose geography is Pennsylvania (PA). Four thousand seven hundred fifty-three awards remain. They sum to $7,135,738,240. SSI pays eligible aged, blind, and disabled people with limited income and resources. The extract counts CFDA 96.006 award actions, not a caseload of Pennsylvanians.

The implied mean is about $1,501,300 per award — lower than the implied means on Pennsylvania’s SSDI and survivors cells. That difference is file mix, not a finding that SSI checks are smaller in a way this table can prove. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Pennsylvania federal spending is every CFDA on PA. CFDA 96.006 is SSI nationwide. Supplemental Security Income in Pennsylvania is the overlap. Pennsylvania programs and All spending ties are the indexes.

SSI pays aged, blind, and disabled people who meet a resource test. Those three groups are not split in the facts. $7,135,738,240 is the 96.006 obligation sum.

Pennsylvania SNAP and highway cells in this slice are different Catalogs. Do not stack them onto SSI as an official hardship total.

Do not stack 96.006 onto 96.001

Adding SSI to SSDI would mix a needs-tested program with an insurance program. Both can be administered by SSA; they remain different Catalog numbers. $7,135,738,240 stays on 96.006 only.

State supplementary payments, if any, may or may not appear in USAspending depending on how they were awarded. This packet does not separate federal SSI from state supplements. Do not invent that split.

Place-of-performance can follow administration or beneficiary geography. A PA tag does not prove every SSI recipient lives in Pennsylvania.
