Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation federal obligations in Pennsylvania
USAspending.gov records $935,593,375.78 in Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation obligations coded to agency 1602 with Pennsylvania place of performance, across 45 awards. That pair is an awarding-agency filter crossed with a geography filter, not PBGC’s nationwide book and not every Pennsylvania pension. Forty-five records behind more than nine hundred million dollars is a thin, large-vehicle file. The implied mean is about $20,790,963.91 per award — a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical trustee contract.

What the PBGC–Pennsylvania join is
Awarding agency 1602 and place-of-performance state PA meet here. $935,593,375.78 is the obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. A PBGC award coded outside Pennsylvania is out. An award in Pennsylvania from a different awarding agency is out even if the work sounds like pensions. This packet does not name plans, trustees, or contractors. Unique recipients are unpublished.
Forty-five award actions sit behind that dollar figure. Open Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation in Pennsylvania for the filtered table, Pennsylvania federal spending for the state hub, Pension Benefit Guaranty Corporation for the agency book, and All spending ties for other pairs. Those pages are not addends to $935,593,375.78.
Forty-five large vehicles
Dividing $935,593,375.78 by 45 yields about $20,790,963.91. Guaranty and trusteeship instruments can post as few large rows. 45 is not 45 unique pension plans and not 45 named contractors. Do not invent plan or company names.
Correlation is not causation: a large PBGC total in Pennsylvania does not prove more underfunded plans than in other states. This packet does not rank Pennsylvania against Ohio or New York. No fiscal year is published here.
Not a participant census or a funded-status score
$935,593,375.78 does not measure covered workers, missed contributions, or funded ratios. Those series are unpublished here. The cell sums obligations with awarding-agency code 1602 and a PA place-of-performance tag. Catalog agency name is the heading, not an actuarial result. This page does not split the total by Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, or Allentown.
Place of performance, not a headquarters story
Place of performance PA is a geography tag on the award. Recipient address can differ from that state tag. Pennsylvania (PA) excludes New Jersey, Ohio, and Delaware. A Camden-coded award is New Jersey.
Obligations are not outlays. $935,593,375.78 can include amounts that pay later. Citing it as cash already sent to Pennsylvania retirees over-reads the field. Keep the obligation label.
