Social Security Retirement Insurance (CFDA 96.002) federal funding in California

Retirement insurance plus California, not every SSA dollar

This page isolates CFDA 96.002 (Social Security Retirement Insurance) and California (CA) place of performance. The $298,352,607,593 total is the USAspending program-by-state aggregate for that pair. Other Social Security listings — disability, survivors, SSI — use different CFDA numbers. An SSA agency-state page uses awarding agency 028 rather than this program code. Mixing those tables with this cell would confuse filters.

Six thousand one hundred ninety-five awards is a thicker book than Medicaid’s California cell on this site, which uses a different CFDA and a different overlay. The comparison is two joins, not one budget. 6,195 is not 6,195 California retirees.

California’s 6,195 records under CFDA 96.002 and $298,352,607,593 are retirement-insurance rows, not a second Medicaid total and not a beneficiary census. Medi-Cal lives on 93.778. People live in SSA’s statistical publications. This join lives at /states/ca/programs/96.002/. Keep those three products in separate sentences when the dollar figure is $298,352,607,593.

CFDA 96.002

Catalog listing 96.002 is Social Security Retirement Insurance. The overlay /states/ca/programs/96.002/ is the table view of this exact pair. The national program page for CFDA 96.002 is the place to see the listing without a California constraint.

This narrative restates 6,195 awards and $298,352,607,593 only. It does not invent a fiscal year, a replacement rate, or a number of beneficiaries. Those fields are not in the packet facts.

California as place of performance

California is state code CA. Place of performance for a benefit listing can follow a payee address, a processing convention, or in-state work. Awards tagged to other states stay outside this $298,352,607,593 sum. The join does not model people who retire after leaving California or who claim benefits after moving in.

Statewide California federal spending is the parent geography. CFDA 96.002 is one program among many there. Medical Assistance Program (93.778) in California is a separate program–state page. This page keeps 96.002 and CA only.

The $48.16 million mean

Dividing $298,352,607,593 by 6,195 awards yields about $48.16 million per award. That mean is a concentration statistic for the aggregate, not a typical monthly retirement check. A few large assistance awards can dominate; the packet has no median.

Net obligations can include adjustments. 6,195 remains an award-record count, not a count of SSA field offices in Los Angeles, San Francisco, or elsewhere.

What the 96.002–California pair is not

Sharing a state with a retirement-insurance listing does not mean California campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. The page does not rank California’s age structure. It reports one USAspending program–state cell.

How to read the California–96.002 numbers

California 96.002 ($298,352,607,593, 6,195 awards) is the retirement-insurance twin of California 93.778, not a second Medicaid total. Twin means same state, different listing. Adding the two California program cells without labeling them as a sum creates a third number neither file contains. Six thousand one hundred ninety-five rows is a thicker program book than the ultra-sparse Medicaid-style cells that use a different CFDA. Different listings, different grains. The 96.002 mean of about $48.16 million is still not a monthly check.

Place-of-performance CA for a benefit listing can follow a processing address. That is a known USAspending limitation, not a finding that every dollar was consumed in California. Other states’ 96.002 dollars live on other program–state pages.
