A high-volume insurance cell, not a capital grant

CFDA 57.001 is titled Social Insurance For Railroad Workers. Virginia is the place-of-performance state. $1,061,181,075.52 sums obligations on records that carry both keys. Eleven thousand five hundred eighty-nine awards is a thick instrument file compared with infrastructure or compact cells that put similar dollars on a handful of rows. Many smaller records pull the average down. That pattern fits a benefits-style catalog line better than a two-award highway grant, but the packet does not classify payment types beyond the CFDA title.

The Virginia hub totals every program. The national 57.001 hub totals every state. This tie is the overlap. A large award count does not prove Virginia has more railroad workers than Indiana or Kansas, which also appear as 57.001 joins in this harvest with their own row counts.

What the Railroad Retirement catalog number captures

Social insurance for railroad workers is a distinct CFDA, not Social Security Administration retirement, not unemployment insurance under the Department of Labor, and not Amtrak operating grants. Mixing those lines into $1,061,181,075.52 would misstate this cell. Packet facts are the obligation total, 11,589 awards, state VA, and CFDA 57.001. No beneficiary roster is included.

Place of performance tagged Virginia can reflect where the agency records the award, not where every retiree lives. The geography key is a USAspending field, not a home-address census of railroad families.
