Social Security Administration obligations in Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13)
USAspending.gov tags $4,185,732,228 to Social Security Administration inside Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13) — 1,211 award records, not outlays. One thousand two hundred eleven SSA-coded awards cover about thirty-nine percent of PA-13's district obligation total, a Pennsylvania Social Security geography that is not another state's 13th district. That pair is Social Security Administration and Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13) — not Pennsylvania's entire federal inflow, not Social Security Administration nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 38.8% of this district's published obligation total ($10,782,364,315.41). Implied average obligation is about $3,456,426.28 ($4,185,732,228 ÷ 1,211). Correlation is not causation.

SSA obligations coded to Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13)
Awarding agency 028 and congressional district PA-13 meet here. $4,185,732,228 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 Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split SSA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. 1,211 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a beneficiary caseload, a monthly-check register, or a named-payee file.
Dividing $4,185,732,228 by 1,211 yields about $3,456,426.28 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 1,211 awards is a moderately thick SSA file. It is not a monthly-check register. Do not treat PA-13's 028 cell as a synonym for every SSA account nationwide. Open Pennsylvania 13th District for the district table without this agency filter, Social Security Administration for agency 028 without a PA-13 filter, Pennsylvania federal spending for every awarding agency in the Pennsylvania extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $4,185,732,228.
What SSA contributes to this pair
USAspending labels awarding agency 028 as Social Security Administration. That code produced $4,185,732,228 when crossed with Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13) place of performance. The agency-wide 028 hub does not require PA-13 geography. The district hub does not require SSA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 1,211 awards. The packet does not split SSA programs or contract versus assistance instruments.
Correlation is not causation: Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13) did not cause $4,185,732,228 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 028 × PA-13 only. This cell is not a beneficiary caseload, a monthly-check register, or a named-payee file. 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.
District geography versus Pennsylvania statewide totals
Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list PA-13 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Pennsylvania districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 028. Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Pennsylvania. Other Pennsylvania districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 028. Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13) is a numbered place-of-performance code inside Pennsylvania. Other Pennsylvania districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 028.
Pennsylvania federal spending shows how agency 028 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $4,185,732,228 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Social Security Administration. The district-wide obligation total published here is $10,782,364,315.41; $4,185,732,228 is the SSA slice of that denominator.
Why this is not an outlay register
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $4,185,732,228 is that kind of sum for Social Security Administration inside PA-13 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 $4,185,732,228 as given.
Pennsylvania's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 1,211-row SSA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 1,211 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 ($3,456,426.28) is a concentration statistic, not a typical PA-13 SSA payment.
Live tables versus this snapshot
Cite USAspending.gov: Social Security Administration (agency 028) obligated $4,185,732,228 on 1,211 awards coded to Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13). Name Social Security Administration and Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13) together. Keep the obligation word. If Pennsylvania 13th District or Social Security Administration has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a beneficiary caseload, a monthly-check register, or a named-payee file. 38.8% of $10,782,364,315.41 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score.
Keep Social Security Administration, Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13), $4,185,732,228, and 1,211 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Social Security Administration is the 028 parent without a PA-13 filter. Pennsylvania federal spending is the Pennsylvania 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.
What this packet refuses to infer
1,211 awards is a moderately thick SSA file. It is not a monthly-check register. Another state's 13th district can also use SSA on a different stamp. Same district number, different state, different join. 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 $3,456,426.28) and the district share (38.8% of $10,782,364,315.41) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Pennsylvania 13th District and Social Security Administration if the live tables moved.
Do not rank Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13) as more SSA-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 028 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 028 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $4,185,732,228 and 1,211 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
Questions
- How much SSA spending is coded to Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13)?
- USAspending.gov lists $4,185,732,228 in Social Security Administration obligations across 1,211 awards with place of performance in Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13). Agency 028 × PA-13 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Pennsylvania's complete federal ledger. The cell is 38.8% of the district's published total ($10,782,364,315.41). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $3,456,426.28, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $4,185,732,228 include every SSA program in PA-13?
- The packet publishes one awarding-agency rollup. The packet does not split SSA programs or contract versus assistance instruments. $4,185,732,228 is the combined obligation sum for agency 028 inside PA-13 coding. This page will not invent a program pie or name contractors. Open Social Security Administration and Pennsylvania 13th District to inspect parent tables. 1,211 remains an action count, not a program count.
- Is $4,185,732,228 cash already paid in Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13)?
- 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. Treating $4,185,732,228 as checks already cleared in Pennsylvania 13th District (PA-13) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 1,211 awards. Prefer the live district and agency hubs if the tables moved.
