Social Insurance for Railroad Workers obligations in Nebraska

Seven thousand nine hundred forty-six benefit records

This tie keeps USAspending assistance where CFDA 57.001 meets Nebraska place of performance. The dollar book is $1,280,804,592.02. The award count is 7,946. Railroad retirement and related social-insurance payments often post as a high-volume tape of individual benefit actions. Seven thousand nine hundred forty-six records still do not equal 7,946 unique beneficiaries; modifications and recurring payments can share the extract.

The join does not prove that Nebraska’s transcontinental rail geography, Omaha headquarters presence, or a particular retirement cohort caused $1,280,804,592.02. Those are other series. This packet does not split retirement annuities from survivor or unemployment insurance inside 57.001. Correlation is not causation.

A reader who treats the cell as Nebraska’s full federal obligation book has left the CFDA-by-state definition. The 7,946 figure is a record count, not a headcount of railroad workers.

Fewer rows than Missouri, similar dollars

Seven thousand nine hundred forty-six awards under $1,280,804,592.02 imply a mean near $161,189 per award. That average is higher than Missouri’s 57.001 implied mean on this slice because Nebraska’s tape is thinner relative to its dollar book. The packet has no median.

Do not treat the Missouri–Nebraska contrast as a ranking of rail systems. Cite Nebraska’s own columns. USAspending.gov is the source; SpendingVault does not recast the mean as a typical monthly annuity.

Nebraska’s 57.001 cell versus the statewide stack

Nebraska’s state hub stacks every CFDA with performance coded to the state. Social Insurance for Railroad Workers is an RRB line. $1,280,804,592.02 is not Nebraska’s all-program total. The nationwide CFDA 57.001 page includes every state, so it is not this cell.

Place-of-performance for railroad social insurance often follows the beneficiary’s coded location, which may differ from the railroad’s operating state. This packet does not reallocate payments to terminals. Read the overlay as a coding view of 7,946 awards.

Obligations versus annuity checks

The $1,280,804,592.02 figure is an obligation sum. Monthly disbursements can trail or split across the obligation window. SpendingVault does not publish a 57.001-in-Nebraska outlay total in this packet. Mixing BLS railroad-employment statistics with this award file leaves the USAspending series.

Cite the join as CFDA 57.001 × Nebraska, $1,280,804,592.02, 7,946 awards, obligations only.

Parent hubs

The Nebraska × Social Insurance for Railroad Workers overlay is the table view. Recipient slices on that hub still sum toward $1,280,804,592.02 on 7,946 awards. The Nebraska spending page and the CFDA 57.001 program page are the parents. The Nebraska programs index and the ties index list other pairs.

None of those links convert the cell into a worker headcount or into outlays this packet omits.

What Nebraska railroad social insurance is not

Social Insurance for Railroad Workers in Nebraska is not a ranking of rail towns and not a count of Union Pacific employees. The $1,280,804,592.02 figure is the CFDA 57.001 × Nebraska cell. Seven thousand nine hundred forty-six awards describe RRB benefit filing, including recurring payments, not 7,946 unique workers. A thinner tape than Missouri’s 57.001 cell does not rank Nebraska’s rail system; it means fewer prime records relative to the dollar book.

Cite 57.001 and Nebraska together, keep the obligation label, and keep the 7,946-award count. Place-of-performance may follow the beneficiary rather than the terminal. Monthly disbursements can split across the obligation window. Later bulk files can revise both dollars and the record count. The overlay is the live table.

Nebraska’s railroad social-insurance cell also does not include a unique-beneficiary headcount, annuity-versus-unemployment splits, or Omaha-headquarters employment. Those series live with the Railroad Retirement Board. SpendingVault cites USAspending.gov obligations only: CFDA 57.001 × Nebraska, $1,280,804,592.02, 7,946 awards. If a later extract revises the 7,946-row tape, the implied mean near $161,189 moves with it. Quote the packet facts and the overlay path rather than a rail-town ranking.
