Social Security Disability Insurance in Pennsylvania 8th (PA-08)

Reading CFDA 96.001 inside PA-08

CFDA 96.001 and congressional district PA-08 meet here. $638,668,659 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 Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split worker from dependent benefits and does not publish a beneficiary denominator. 168 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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.

This page reports a Social Security Disability Insurance (CFDA 96.001) catalog line, not a checks-paid register. The headline $638,668,659 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $10,607,796,907.86; the 6.0% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Pennsylvania districts as winners or losers. District 90 and 98 placeholders are omitted from this harvest. Obligations are not outlays. West Virginia 2nd’s SSDI pair uses the same CFDA on a different geography. Do not merge PA-08 and WV-02 as one regional SSA cell.

Program 96.001 without inventing a recipient pie

USAspending labels CFDA 96.001 as Social Security Disability Insurance. That catalog number produced $638,668,659 when crossed with Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08) place of performance. The program-wide 96.001 hub does not require PA-08 geography. The district hub does not require SSDI. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 168 awards. The packet does not split worker from dependent benefits and does not publish a beneficiary denominator.

Correlation is not causation: Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08) did not “cause” $638,668,659 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 96.001 × PA-08 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.

How Pennsylvania geography is coded on this join

Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district.

Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Pennsylvania. Other Pennsylvania districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 96.001. Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08) is a numbered place-of-performance geography inside Pennsylvania. Other Pennsylvania districts are not this join.

Pennsylvania federal spending shows how CFDA 96.001 sits beside other programs in the same state extract. $638,668,659 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08) 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 $10,607,796,907.86; $638,668,659 is the SSDI slice of that denominator.

What the dollar figure is allowed to mean

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $638,668,659 is that kind of sum for Social Security Disability Insurance inside PA-08 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 $638,668,659 as given.

Pennsylvania’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 168-row SSDI cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 168 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 168 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 ($3,801,599.16) is a concentration statistic, not a typical monthly benefit or a posted per-beneficiary figure.

Limits of the PA-08 × 96.001 snapshot

168 awards is a moderate SSDI file. Do not invent named beneficiaries or a county claims map. 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 $3,801,599.16) and the district share (6.0% of $10,607,796,907.86) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Pennsylvania 8th District and CFDA 96.001 if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Pennsylvania 8th District (PA-08) as more SSDI-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone.

All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
