96.006 is not survivors insurance or SSDI

Social Security Survivors Insurance (CFDA 96.004) and disability insurance are different SSA catalogs. Mixing those dollars into $3,447,450,656 would invent a broader income-security total than this cell contains. Tennessee also has a 96.004 survivors cell on a separate page; that total is not an addend here. Facts available: Tennessee, CFDA 96.006, $3,447,450,656, 5,714 awards. Benefit formulas and caseload counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Supplemental Security Income, not a ranking of county poverty. Dividing $3,447,450,656 by 5,714 yields about $603,334 per award—a record-level ratio, not a typical monthly SSI check. Unique recipients are unpublished. 5,714 is not a count of households.
