Pension Plan Termination Insurance obligations in Washington

What the 86.001–Washington join is

CFDA 86.001 is titled PENSION PLAN TERMINATION INSURANCE. Crossed with Washington place of performance, obligations sum to $1,099,932,990.39 on 7 awards. The national PBGC hub includes other states. Washington’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $1,099,932,990.39 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of terminated-plan participants in Seattle or Tacoma.

Seven awards is a concentrated insurance-program pattern: PBGC termination insurance can post as a small number of large assistance or insurance instruments. The join does not name plans, trustees, or employers. Packet facts stop at $1,099,932,990.39, 7 awards, WA, and 86.001. Correlation is not causation.

86.001 is not Social Security or railroad retirement

Social Insurance for Railroad Workers (CFDA 57.001) and OASDI catalogs are different numbers. Mixing those into $1,099,932,990.39 would invent a broader retirement total than this cell contains. Facts available: Washington, CFDA 86.001, $1,099,932,990.39, 7 awards. Plan names, funded status, and participant counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Pension Plan Termination Insurance, not a ranking of corporate pensions. Dividing $1,099,932,990.39 by 7 yields about $157.13 million per award—a large-instrument scale. Unique recipients are unpublished. 7 is not a count of retirees.

Washington geography on the PBGC tag

WA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Seattle, Olympia, or another in-state address can share the tag. Awards coded to Oregon, Idaho, or California stay outside $1,099,932,990.39 even when a multi-state plan has participants in those states. The code does not convert $1.10 billion into an employer map.

Washington federal spending is the all-program parent. 86.001 is one row on Washington programs. $1.10 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Pension Plan Termination Insurance in Washington for the filtered table, CFDA 86.001 for 86.001 without a Washington filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $1,099,932,990.39.

Reading 7 awards under $1.10 billion

$1,099,932,990.39 ÷ 7 is about $157.13 million per award. That average is a termination-insurance scale, not a typical monthly pension check. It is not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 7 as a record count, not as 7 finished plan terminations.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $1,099,932,990.39 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 7 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $1,099,932,990.39 without changing the join key of 86.001 and WA.

What the PBGC–Washington pair does not prove

A large 86.001 total tagged to Washington does not measure whether plans were underfunded, and it does not equal checks cashed. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $1,099,932,990.39 on 7 awards for Pension Plan Termination Insurance in Washington.

Keep both sides of the join: Pension Plan Termination Insurance and Washington, obligations only. Do not annualize $1,099,932,990.39 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 7 as a retiree census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a bankruptcy story.

Using the PBGC–Washington overlay

The overlay target is the Washington × CFDA 86.001 table. Open Pension Plan Termination Insurance in Washington when you want the same $1,099,932,990.39 / 7-award cell in the site’s data chrome.

Obligations of $1,099,932,990.39 are not outlays.
