Social Security Disability Insurance in Arkansas 2nd (AR-02)

The Arkansas 2nd District (AR-02) filter on SSDI

CFDA 96.001 and congressional district AR-02 meet here. $585,488,323 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Social Security Disability Insurance’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Arkansas 2nd District (AR-02), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split worker from dependent benefits and does not publish a beneficiary denominator. 246 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a beneficiary census, a claims roster, or a named-recipient file.

Dividing $585,488,323 by 246 yields about $2,380,033.83 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical monthly benefit or a posted per-beneficiary figure. 246 awards is a moderate SSDI file. Recipients remain unpublished. Do not treat AR-02’s 96.001 cell as a synonym for every SSDI account nationwide. Open Arkansas 2nd District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 96.001 for CFDA 96.001 without the AR-02 filter, Arkansas federal spending for every program in the Arkansas extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $585,488,323.

The SSDI catalog line

USAspending labels CFDA 96.001 as Social Security Disability Insurance. That catalog number produced $585,488,323 when crossed with Arkansas 2nd District (AR-02) place of performance. The program-wide 96.001 hub does not require AR-02 geography. The district hub does not require SSDI. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 246 awards. The packet does not split worker from dependent benefits and does not publish a beneficiary denominator.

Correlation is not causation: Arkansas 2nd District (AR-02) did not “cause” $585,488,323 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 96.001 × AR-02 only. It is not a beneficiary census, a claims roster, or a named-recipient 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.

Reading the AR-02 stamp

Arkansas 2nd District (AR-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 AR-02 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Arkansas districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 96.001. Arkansas 2nd District (AR-02) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Arkansas. Other Arkansas districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 96.001. Arkansas 2nd District (AR-02) is the third Arkansas SSDI geography on this slice. CFDA 96.001 is the same catalog line; the district stamp is not.

Arkansas federal spending shows how CFDA 96.001 sits beside other programs in the same state extract. $585,488,323 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split Arkansas 2nd District (AR-02) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different CFDA stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Social Security Disability Insurance. The district-wide obligation total published here is $11,565,306,530.99; $585,488,323 is the SSDI slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $585,488,323 is that kind of sum for Social Security Disability Insurance inside AR-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 CFDA rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $585,488,323 as given.

Arkansas’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 246-row SSDI cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 246 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 246 is not a count of beneficiaries, claims, or SSA offices. 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 ($2,380,033.83) is a concentration statistic, not a typical monthly benefit or a posted per-beneficiary figure.

Citing $585,488,323 without dropping a join side

Name Social Security Disability Insurance and Arkansas 2nd District (AR-02) together. Keep the obligation word. If Arkansas 2nd District or CFDA 96.001 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a beneficiary census, a claims roster, or a named-recipient file. 5.1% of $11,565,306,530.99 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. Do not add the three Arkansas SSDI cells. Each page reports one district×program intersection, not a statewide Social Security book.

Row count versus dollar concentration

246 awards is a moderate SSDI file. Recipients remain unpublished. A large row count makes a project 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 $2,380,033.83) and the district share (5.1% of $11,565,306,530.99) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Arkansas 2nd District and CFDA 96.001 if the live tables moved.

Questions

How much SSDI spending is coded to Arkansas 2nd District (AR-02)?

USAspending.gov lists $585,488,323 in Social Security Disability Insurance obligations across 246 awards with place of performance in Arkansas 2nd District (AR-02). CFDA 96.001 × AR-02 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Arkansas’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 5.1% of the district’s published total ($11,565,306,530.99). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $2,380,033.83, a ratio of those two facts only.

Does $585,488,323 include every SSDI project in AR-02?

The packet publishes one CFDA rollup. The packet does not split worker from dependent benefits and does not publish a beneficiary denominator. $585,488,323 is the combined obligation sum for CFDA 96.001 inside AR-02 coding. This page will not invent a project pie or name contractors. Open CFDA 96.001 and Arkansas 2nd District to inspect parent tables. 246 remains an action count, not a count of beneficiaries, claims, or SSA offices.

Is $585,488,323 cash already paid in Arkansas 2nd District (AR-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. Treating $585,488,323 as checks already cleared in Arkansas 2nd District (AR-02) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 246 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.

Why is the implied average $2,380,033.83 not a typical award?

The average is $585,488,323 divided by 246 awards, about $2,380,033.83. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
