CFDA 57.001 is not TANF

Temporary Assistance For Needy Families (CFDA 93.558) in Pennsylvania is an HHS catalog, not this Railroad Retirement Board line. Mixing TANF and 57.001 invents a combined income-support book. Mixing those series into $1,964,385,328.33 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Pennsylvania, CFDA 57.001, $1,964,385,328.33, 7,786 awards. Beneficiary names, claim types, and employer names are unpublished.

The catalog title names Social Insurance For Railroad Workers, not a ranking of Pennsylvania rail carriers. Dividing $1,964,385,328.33 by 7,786 yields about $252,297 per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 7,786 is not a retiree, claimant, or carrier census.

Pennsylvania geography, not a carrier roster

PA is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, Altoona, or Harrisburg can share the tag. Awards coded to Ohio, New York, New Jersey, Maryland, Delaware, and West Virginia stay outside $1,964,385,328.33 even when activity later crosses those lines. The code does not convert $1.96 billion into a division-by-division railroad map.

Pennsylvania federal spending is the all-program parent. 57.001 is one row on Pennsylvania programs. $1.96 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint.

Do not add those parents into $1,964,385,328.33.

7,786 rows, still obligations

$1,964,385,328.33 ÷ 7,786 is about $252,297 per award. That average is a mid-six-figure mean on a thick file, not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 7,786 as a record count, not as 7,786 unique retirees or 7,786 named carriers.

Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 7,786 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $1,964,385,328.33 without changing the join key of 57.001 and PA. USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $1,964,385,328.33 is the net total supplied in the facts. The pair remains Social Insurance for Railroad Workers plus Pennsylvania. Do not treat $1,964,385,328.33 as an outlay series.
