Social Insurance for Railroad Workers obligations in Kentucky

What the 57.001–Kentucky join is

CFDA 57.001 is titled SOCIAL INSURANCE FOR RAILROAD WORKERS. Crossed with Kentucky place of performance, obligations sum to $872,639,374.49 on 10,247 awards. The national railroad-insurance hub includes other states. Kentucky’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $872,639,374.49 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of railroad retirees in Louisville or Paducah.

Ten thousand two hundred forty-seven awards is a high-volume benefit pattern: railroad social insurance often posts as many relatively small assistance records rather than one statewide block. The join does not name beneficiaries, split CSX from other carriers, or count households. Packet facts stop at $872,639,374.49, 10,247 awards, KY, and 57.001.

57.001 is not PBGC termination insurance

Pension Plan Termination Insurance (CFDA 86.001) is a different catalog. Mixing PBGC into $872,639,374.49 would invent a broader retirement total than this cell contains. Facts available: Kentucky, CFDA 57.001, $872,639,374.49, 10,247 awards. Annuity amounts, Medicare coordination, and beneficiary names are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Social Insurance for Railroad Workers, not a ranking of rail employment. Dividing $872,639,374.49 by 10,247 yields about $85,160 per award—a benefit-record scale far smaller than a block grant. Unique recipients are unpublished. 10,247 is not a count of railroad companies.

Kentucky geography on the RRB tag

KY is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Louisville, Lexington, Paducah, or other in-state sites can share the tag. Awards coded to Ohio, Indiana, Tennessee, or West Virginia stay outside $872,639,374.49 even when a rail corridor crosses those rivers. The code does not convert $872.6 million into a beneficiary map.

Kentucky federal spending is the all-program parent. 57.001 is one row on Kentucky programs. $872.6 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Social Insurance For Railroad Workers in Kentucky for the filtered table, CFDA 57.001 for 57.001 without a Kentucky filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $872,639,374.49.

Reading 10,247 awards under $872.6 million

$872,639,374.49 ÷ 10,247 is about $85,160 per award. That average is a benefit-record scale, not a typical career railroad wage. It is not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 10,247 as a record count, not as 10,247 finished careers.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $872,639,374.49 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 10,247 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $872,639,374.49 without changing the join key of 57.001 and KY.

What the railroad-insurance–Kentucky pair does not prove

A large 57.001 total tagged to Kentucky does not measure whether rail employment rose, and it does not equal checks cashed. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $872,639,374.49 on 10,247 awards for Social Insurance for Railroad Workers in Kentucky.

Keep both sides of the join: Social Insurance for Railroad Workers and Kentucky, obligations only. Do not annualize $872,639,374.49 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 10,247 as a retiree census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a labor-history story.

Using the railroad-insurance–Kentucky overlay

The overlay target is the Kentucky × CFDA 57.001 table. Open Social Insurance For Railroad Workers in Kentucky when you want the same $872,639,374.49 / 10,247-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 57.001 drops the Kentucky filter. Kentucky federal spending drops the CFDA filter. Kentucky programs lists other catalogs beside 57.001. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that Kentucky won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 57.001 plus KY. Obligations of $872,639,374.49 are not outlays.
