Social Security Disability Insurance federal funding in California

Social Security Disability Insurance (CFDA 96.001) shows $27,052,245,632 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to California, across 5,139 awards. This page joins that SSA catalog program to California place-of-performance. It is not a count of California SSDI beneficiaries, not a Trust Fund statement, and not an outlay conversion. USAspending.gov is the source table.

Key figures

  • CFDA 96.001 × California records $27,052,245,632 in USAspending obligations.
  • 5,139 awards underlie that sum; the mean is about $5.26 million per record, not a typical check.
  • Matching SSDI to California is not causation and not a beneficiary census.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

Disability insurance meeting California in the award file

CFDA 96.001 is Social Security Disability Insurance. California (CA) is the geography tag. Together they produce $27,052,245,632 and 5,139 records. A 96.001 award tagged to Nevada or Oregon is excluded. A California retirement-insurance, survivors-insurance, SNAP, or VA row is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the SSDI cell.

Five thousand one hundred thirty-nine awards against $27,052,245,632 yields a mean of about $5,263,134 per record. That mean is not a typical monthly SSDI check. Large assistance vehicles and modifications can dominate dollars. This packet does not list beneficiaries, DDS offices, or hearing offices.

Sacramento did not cause $27,052,245,632 by appearing as a state code. Correlation is not causation. Social Security Disability Insurance in California is the live overlay.

What CFDA 96.001 reports without becoming a caseload

SpendingVault does not grade California’s disability determination backlog. $27,052,245,632 is an obligation sum, not a caseload. CFDA 96.001 is the national hub without the California filter. This packet has no national SSDI total, so none is quoted.

SSA statistical supplements that count disabled workers by state are a different series. They are not the 5,139 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing a beneficiary count from those files with this join would invent a per-person dollar figure the packet does not support.

California’s statewide book besides 96.001

California federal spending covers every CFDA coded to the state. California programs is the catalog directory, including survivors insurance (96.004) which is a sibling SSA line. $27,052,245,632 is one cell, not an “all Social Security” total.

Place-of-performance California on an SSDI vehicle can be a payment center. It is not automatically the ZIP where a beneficiary lives. This packet has no county split of the $27,052,245,632.

Obligations versus disability checks already mailed

An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $27,052,245,632 is the commitment figure. This page does not convert the 5,139 awards into deposits.

State DDS publications are different ledgers. Keep the citation on USAspending.gov.

How to cite the 96.001–California join

Cite: Social Security Disability Insurance (CFDA 96.001) obligated $27,052,245,632 on 5,139 awards coded to California, per USAspending.gov. Keep both keys. Do not invent a fiscal year. All spending ties stores this pair with other program-by-state pages.

Later bulk files can move the dollars and the 5,139-award count. Prefer the overlay Social Security Disability Insurance in California when the live table and this snapshot diverge.

What 5,139 rows will not be asked to prove

This page will not treat 5,139 awards as 5,139 disabled workers. It will not compute a per-beneficiary figure because the packet has no beneficiary census. It will not rank California against Texas or New York on 96.001. Peer totals are other packets.

Survivors insurance, SNAP, school lunch, VA compensation, and disaster grants remain outside $27,052,245,632. California federal spending, California programs, CFDA 96.001, and All spending ties are the parent hubs. None of them recasts this join as a grade of California’s disability system or as an outlay.

The mean of about $5.26 million per record is a quotient, not a typical monthly check. Keep both the program name and California in every citation sentence. Treat this JSON as a packet snapshot. A payment center tagged to California can carry a large share of the book even if beneficiaries live elsewhere.

Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a residence map. If a later ingest disagrees, the overlay wins. This page does not convert the join into a statement about hearing wait times or allowance rates—those topics are absent from the packet. Keep USAspending.gov as the cited source and keep the obligation label on every sentence that uses the total.

California’s Disability Determination Services and SSA hearing offices are not listed in this extract. Inferring an office census from 5,139 awards would be a category error. $27,052,245,632 remains an obligation cell on CFDA 96.001 with California place-of-performance.

A payment operations site tagged to California can dominate the book even if beneficiaries live elsewhere. That possibility is why place-of-performance is a coding field, not a residence map. Social Security Disability Insurance in California remains the live overlay if later ingests move the dollars.

Do not add survivors insurance or retirement insurance to this SSDI total. Those are other SSA catalog numbers. Keep $27,052,245,632 on 96.001. Keep USAspending.gov as the cited source and keep the obligation label on every sentence that uses the figure.

Questions

How much SSDI is obligated in California?
USAspending.gov records $27,052,245,632 in CFDA 96.001 obligations across 5,139 awards coded to California. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not California’s full federal total.
Is 5,139 a count of California SSDI beneficiaries?
No. It is an award-row count. $27,052,245,632 ÷ 5,139 is about $5.26 million per record as a mean, not a typical monthly check. Beneficiary statistics live in other SSA publications.
Does this include retirement or survivors insurance?
No. The cell is CFDA 96.001 only. Other SSA catalog numbers are separate joins. The $27,052,245,632 does not swallow those programs.
Where is the live overlay?
Social Security Disability Insurance in California is the overlay. See California federal spending, California programs, CFDA 96.001, and All spending ties. Later ingests override this snapshot.
