Public assistance, not railroad social insurance

Social Insurance For Railroad Workers (CFDA 57.001) in Pennsylvania is a different agency catalog. Mixing FEMA public assistance with railroad social insurance invents a combined book. Mixing those series into $1,984,587,998.08 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Pennsylvania, CFDA 97.036, $1,984,587,998.08, 6 awards. Declaration numbers, incident names, and applicant names are unpublished.

The catalog title names Disaster Grants - Public Assistance (Presidentially Declared Disasters), not a ranking of Pennsylvania counties by damage. Dividing $1,984,587,998.08 by 6 yields about $330.76 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 6 is not a declaration, applicant, or project census.

Pennsylvania geography, not a county damage map

PA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Harrisburg, Philadelphia, or Pittsburgh can share the tag. Awards coded to Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia stay outside $1,984,587,998.08 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $1.98 billion into a flood or winter-storm atlas.

Pennsylvania federal spending is the all-program parent. 97.036 is one row on Pennsylvania programs. $1.98 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint.

Six awards and a high-eight-figure mean

Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 6 as a record count, not as 6 unique disasters or 6 named applicants.

Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 6 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections.
