5,854 awards is a mid-thickness SSA book: denser than New Jersey’s 96.004 cell, thinner than Georgia’s. That comparison is a reporting pattern, not a ranking of states. The join does not name SSA field offices, list beneficiaries, or count eligible survivors. Packet facts stop at $6,543,423,798, 5,854 awards, TN, and 96.004.

96.004 is not retirement or SSI

Social Security retirement insurance and Supplemental Security Income (CFDA 96.006) are different SSA catalogs. Mixing those dollars into $6,543,423,798 would invent a broader income-security total than this cell contains. Disability insurance uses other numbers still. Facts available: Tennessee, CFDA 96.004, $6,543,423,798, 5,854 awards. Benefit formulas and caseload counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Social Security Survivors Insurance, not a ranking of county need. Dividing $6,543,423,798 by 5,854 yields about $1,117,770 per award—a record-level ratio, not a typical monthly survivor check. Unique recipients are unpublished. 5,854 is not a count of households.
