Social Insurance for Railroad Workers obligations in Tennessee

What the 57.001–Tennessee join is

CFDA 57.001 is titled SOCIAL INSURANCE FOR RAILROAD WORKERS. Crossed with Tennessee place of performance, obligations sum to $827,806,865.34 on 8,626 awards. The national railroad-insurance hub includes other states. Tennessee’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $827,806,865.34 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of railroad retirees in Nashville, Memphis, or Chattanooga.

Eight thousand six hundred twenty-six 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 NS from CSX, or count households. Packet facts stop at $827,806,865.34, 8,626 awards, TN, and 57.001.

57.001 is not PBGC in Tennessee

Pension Plan Termination Insurance (CFDA 86.001) is a different catalog. Mixing PBGC into $827,806,865.34 would invent a broader retirement total than this cell contains. Facts available: Tennessee, CFDA 57.001, $827,806,865.34, 8,626 awards. Annuity amounts and beneficiary names are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Social Insurance for Railroad Workers, not a ranking of rail employment. Dividing $827,806,865.34 by 8,626 yields about $95,966 per award—a benefit-record scale. Unique recipients are unpublished. 8,626 is not a count of railroad companies.

Tennessee geography on the RRB tag

TN is the place-of-performance code. Awards billed to Nashville, Memphis, Knoxville, or other in-state sites can share the tag. Awards coded to Kentucky, Alabama, Georgia, or Arkansas stay outside $827,806,865.34 even when a rail corridor crosses those lines. The code does not convert $827.8 million into a beneficiary map.

Tennessee federal spending is the all-program parent. 57.001 is one row on Tennessee programs. $827.8 million is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Social Insurance For Railroad Workers in Tennessee for the filtered table, CFDA 57.001 for 57.001 without a Tennessee filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $827,806,865.34.

Reading 8,626 awards under $827.8 million

$827,806,865.34 ÷ 8,626 is about $95,966 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 8,626 as a record count, not as 8,626 finished careers.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $827,806,865.34 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 8,626 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $827,806,865.34 without changing the join key of 57.001 and TN.

What the railroad-insurance–Tennessee pair does not prove

A large 57.001 total tagged to Tennessee 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 $827,806,865.34 on 8,626 awards for Social Insurance for Railroad Workers in Tennessee.

Keep both sides of the join: Social Insurance for Railroad Workers and Tennessee, obligations only. Do not annualize $827,806,865.34 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 8,626 as a retiree census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a labor-history story.

Using the railroad-insurance–Tennessee overlay

The overlay target is the Tennessee × CFDA 57.001 table. Open Social Insurance For Railroad Workers in Tennessee when you want the same $827,806,865.34 / 8,626-award cell in the site’s data chrome.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that Tennessee won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 57.001 plus TN. Obligations of $827,806,865.34 are not outlays.
