Social Security Retirement Insurance federal funding in Arkansas

Social Security Retirement Insurance (CFDA 96.002) shows $27,645,182,818 in USAspending.gov obligations with Arkansas as place of performance. 4,165 awards sit behind that total. The join is a SSA retirement-insurance listing crossed with a state location field, not the state's entire income-security budget and not a census of retirees, field offices, or monthly checks. The dollars are commitments, not Treasury outlays.

Key figures

  • CFDA 96.002 in Arkansas shows $27,645,182,818 in USAspending obligations on 4,165 awards.
  • 4,165 awards are payment-file rows, not a retiree headcount.
  • The join is SSA retirement insurance plus Arkansas place of performance, not disability or SSI.
  • The total is commitments, not proof of monthly checks already deposited.

Arkansas x 96.002 is a retirement-insurance join, not a census

This page pairs CFDA 96.002, SOCIAL SECURITY RETIREMENT INSURANCE, with Arkansas place of performance. The listing is Social Security Retirement Insurance as an SSA assistance catalog line, not a person-level beneficiary file. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $27,645,182,818 on 4,165 awards. The extract does not list retirees, field offices, or monthly checks. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more need, and not a claim that 4,165 awards equal 4,165 separate local offices.

Social Security Disability Insurance, SSI, or Medicare listings sit outside $27,645,182,818 unless they also carry 96.002. Mixing retirement insurance with disability or SSI would invent a combined Social Security figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and the share of residents over 65 is not causation. Age-structure figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Arkansas locates the tagged awards; it does not prove every dollar was paid to a resident of that state as a monthly check. Arkansas as place of performance locates the tagged awards; it is not a Delta ranking.

4,165 awards behind $27.6 billion

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible continuations, amendments, and payment-file batches. It is not a census of retirees, field offices, or monthly checks. Mean obligation is about $6,637,498.88 if $27,645,182,818 were divided evenly across 4,165 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published monthly benefit, and not a typical retiree's check. The packet has no worker-versus-spouse/survivor split inside 96.002. A 4,165-line file is large enough that readers should sort the overlay by amount rather than reading this page as a complete roster.

4,165 lines belong on the overlay table, not in a narrative roster. This page will not invent recipient names. Open Social Security Retirement Insurance in Arkansas for the stored table. Do not convert 4,165 into a map of Arkansas sites. The $27,645,182,818 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a census.

Retirement-insurance obligations are not monthly checks already deposited

Social Security Retirement Insurance awards often post as large payment-file rows rather than one line per beneficiary and draw as Treasury pays scheduled benefits. The $27,645,182,818 headline is the obligation sum, not a punch-list of people who received a deposit and not a Treasury outlay total. No fiscal year is attached. An allocation table dated to a particular year is not automatically this join unless it uses CFDA 96.002, Arkansas geography, and the obligation metric.

The listing title is Social Security Retirement Insurance. This extract does not split retired-worker benefits from auxiliary benefits, and it does not split current-year from prior-year adjustments. Those cuts would require award documentation beyond dollars, 4,165 awards, CFDA 96.002, and Arkansas. This page will not invent a share. Disability insurance and SSI sit on different CFDA numbers.

What the Arkansas 96.002 table omits

The extract has no beneficiary count, no average-benefit table, and no ZIP map. Facts remain $27,645,182,818, 4,165 awards, CFDA 96.002, and Arkansas. This page will not invent a ranking against other states' 96.002 joins. Disability and SSI are different listings, not subsets of 96.002.

Arkansas federal spending and Arkansas programs place 96.002 among other listings. CFDA 96.002 is the national catalog line. All spending ties indexes other CFDA x state pairs. Mixing those shelves would invent a share of SSA spending the packet never computed. The $27,645,182,818 figure is the tagged pair only. 4,165 awards remain payment-file and insurance rows, not a census of retirees, field offices, or monthly checks.

Where the 96.002 x Arkansas overlay lives

Start with Social Security Retirement Insurance in Arkansas for the 4,165-award table behind $27,645,182,818. CFDA 96.002 is the nationwide listing. Arkansas federal spending and Arkansas programs give state context. All spending ties is the shelf for other program-by-state joins on the same obligation metric. 4,165 awards totaling $27,645,182,818 remain payment-file and insurance rows, not a census of retirees, field offices, or monthly checks. Names, unit counts, and per-unit amounts are omitted because they are not in the facts. Read the overlay rows as stored; this page will not invent a Arkansas budget share.

How to read the Arkansas × CFDA 96.002 pair

A ties page exists because two tables meet. One table is the assistance listing (CFDA 96.002). The other is place of performance as Arkansas. The headline $27,645,182,818 is the obligation sum on that intersection. It is not a forecast, not a budget request, and not an outlay. It is also not a claim that CFDA 96.002 caused Arkansas's economy to grow, or that Arkansas caused CFDA 96.002 awards to exist. Correlation between geography and a catalog code is the join — nothing more.

Use the internal links to step off this pair: the statewide spending shelf, the national program listing, the state's other programs, and the ties index. Each of those pages uses the same obligation metric unless a page says otherwise. If you need award-level names, open the overlay rather than treating this narrative as a recipient directory. If you need a different metric — outlays, current-year only, or a different geography — that metric is not in this packet. Do not annualize $27,645,182,818 into a per-year run rate: no fiscal year is in the facts. USAspending.gov remains the source; SpendingVault republishes the join.
