Retirement insurance meeting South Carolina in the award file
The program key is CFDA 96.002. The geography key is South Carolina (SC). Their overlap is $58,279,149,853 and 3,347 records. A 96.002 award tagged to a neighboring state is out of this cell. A South Carolina 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 $58,279,149,853.
3,347 awards against $58,279,149,853 produces a mean of about $17,412,354.30 per record. That mean is a quotient of packet facts, not a typical monthly benefit and not a typical South Carolina 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. 3,347 awards sits in the middle of the 96.002 row-count range in this slice; it remains a row count, not a retiree census.
Columbia did not cause the $58,279,149,853 by appearing as a state code, and SSA did not “award South Carolina” in a sense this extract can prove. Matching a CFDA to a state is not causation. The overlay Social Security Retirement Insurance in South Carolina 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 $58,279,149,853 carries the retirement-insurance catalog title. CFDA 96.002 is the national program hub with the South Carolina filter removed.
