Social Security Administration obligations in Oregon 2nd District (OR-02)
USAspending.gov records $3,778,655,251.43 in Social Security Administration (agency 028) obligations with place of performance in Oregon 2nd District (OR-02), across 939 awards. Nine hundred thirty-nine SSA-coded awards cover about forty-four percent of OR-02’s district obligation total, a near-half Social Security column inside an eight-point-five-billion-dollar district base. That pair is Social Security Administration and Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) — not Oregon’s entire federal inflow, not Social Security Administration nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 44.3% of this district’s published obligation total ($8,529,330,805). Implied average obligation is about $4,024,127 ($3,778,655,251.43 ÷ 939). Correlation is not causation.

What the SSA–OR-02 join is
Awarding agency 028 and congressional district OR-02 meet here. $3,778,655,251.43 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Social Security Administration’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Oregon 2nd District (OR-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split OASDI, SSI, or contract versus assistance instruments. 939 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a beneficiary census, a field-office roster, a named-payee file, or a retirement-check register.
Dividing $3,778,655,251.43 by 939 yields about $4,024,127 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 939 awards is a moderate SSA file. The implied mean is a ratio, not a typical benefit instrument. Do not treat OR-02’s 028 cell as a synonym for every SSA account nationwide. Open Oregon 2nd District for the district table without this agency filter, Social Security Administration for agency 028 without the OR-02 filter, Oregon federal spending for every awarding agency in the Oregon extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $3,778,655,251.43.
Awarding agency 028 as the SSA side
USAspending labels awarding agency 028 as Social Security Administration. That code produced $3,778,655,251.43 when crossed with Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) place of performance. The agency-wide 028 hub does not require OR-02 geography. The district hub does not require SSA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 939 awards. The packet does not split OASDI, SSI, or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) did not cause $3,778,655,251.43 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 028 × OR-02 only. It is not a beneficiary census, a field-office roster, a named-payee file, or a retirement-check register. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) as place of performance
Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list OR-02 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Oregon districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 028. Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Oregon. Other Oregon districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 028. Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) is a numbered place-of-performance geography inside Oregon. Other Oregon districts are not this join.
Obligations, not outlays
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $3,778,655,251.43 is that kind of sum for Social Security Administration inside OR-02 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $3,778,655,251.43 as given.
Oregon’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 939-row SSA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 939 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($4,024,127) is a concentration statistic, not a typical OR-02 SSA payment.
How to cite SSA in OR-02
Cite USAspending.gov: Social Security Administration (agency 028) obligated $3,778,655,251.43 on 939 awards coded to Oregon 2nd District (OR-02). Name Social Security Administration and Oregon 2nd District (OR-02) together. Keep the obligation word. If Oregon 2nd District or Social Security Administration has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a beneficiary census, a field-office roster, a named-payee file, or a retirement-check register. 44.3% of $8,529,330,805 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep Social Security Administration, Oregon 2nd District (OR-02), $3,778,655,251.43, and 939 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Social Security Administration is the 028 parent without a OR-02 filter. Oregon federal spending is the Oregon parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with SSA does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
Reading a moderate SSA file in OR-02
939 awards is a moderate SSA file. The implied mean is a ratio, not a typical benefit instrument. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $4,024,127) and the district share (44.3% of $8,529,330,805) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Oregon 2nd District and Social Security Administration if the live tables moved.
Questions

- Does $3,778,655,251.43 include every SSA program in OR-02?

The packet does not split OASDI, SSI, or contract versus assistance instruments. $3,778,655,251.43 is the combined obligation sum for agency 028 inside OR-02 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. 939 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $3,778,655,251.43 cash already paid in Oregon 2nd District (OR-02)?
- No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline.

Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
