Social Security Retirement Insurance federal funding in Illinois
Social Security Retirement Insurance (CFDA 96.002) shows $108,134,459,610 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Illinois, across 7,862 awards. This page is the join of that catalog program and Illinois place-of-performance. It is not a Trust Fund statement, not a count of Illinois retirees, and not an outlay series. SpendingVault indexes the pair; USAspending.gov is the source.

- 7,862 awards underlie that sum; the mean is about $13,754,065.07 per record, not a typical benefit.

Retirement insurance meeting Illinois in the award file
The program key is CFDA 96.002. The geography key is Illinois (IL). Their overlap is $108,134,459,610 and 7,862 records. A 96.002 award tagged to a neighboring state is out of this cell. A Illinois award under disability insurance (96.001) or survivors insurance (96.004) is a different join, even though those catalog numbers also sit in the SSA family. This page does not add those siblings to the $108,134,459,610.
7,862 awards against $108,134,459,610 produces a mean of about $13,754,065.07 per record. That mean is a quotient of packet facts, not a typical monthly benefit and not a typical Illinois retiree’s annual check. Large assistance vehicles and modifications can dominate dollars while the row count stays in the thousands rather than in the millions of people. 7,862 awards is a denser grain than many Medicare cells, still far below a beneficiary census.
Springfield did not cause the $108,134,459,610 by appearing as a state code, and SSA did not “award Illinois” in a sense this extract can prove. Matching a CFDA to a state is not causation. The overlay Social Security Retirement Insurance in Illinois is the live table for the same pair.
What CFDA 96.002 is on this page—and what SSA publications are not
Every dollar in the $108,134,459,610 carries the retirement-insurance catalog title. CFDA 96.002 is the national program hub with the Illinois filter removed. This packet does not include a national total, so Illinois is not given a share of a U.S. figure. SSA statistical supplements that count beneficiaries by state are a different series; they are not the 7,862 USAspending.gov rows.
Trust Fund ratios, average monthly benefits, and COLA announcements live in other SSA products. Placing any of those next to $108,134,459,610 would mix files. This page stays with the award aggregate.
The Illinois book is wider than retirement insurance
Illinois federal spending aggregates every CFDA coded to the state. Illinois programs is the catalog directory. $108,134,459,610 is one cell inside those views. Quoting it as “federal spending in Illinois” would drop every other program, including the Medicare and Medical Assistance cells that also appear as Illinois joins.
Place-of-performance Illinois can be a payment center, a contractor, or another tagged address. It is not automatically the ZIP where a retiree lives. This packet has no county split of the $108,134,459,610 and no congressional-district cut.
Obligations versus checks already mailed
An obligation is a legal commitment on a USAspending.gov award. An outlay is cash leaving the Treasury. $108,134,459,610 is the first. Using it as a proxy for deposits already in Illinois bank accounts will misstate cash depending on timing, recoveries, and deobligations. SpendingVault does not convert the 7,862 awards into payments.
Springfield budget documents and the state’s CAFRs answer other questions. They are not the source of this cell. If a chart mixes General Fund activity with CFDA 96.002, the chart has left the federal award series.
How to cite the 96.002–Illinois pair
Cite USAspending.gov: Social Security Retirement Insurance (CFDA 96.002) obligated $108,134,459,610 on 7,862 awards coded to Illinois. Keep both sides of the join. Keep the obligation label. Do not invent a fiscal year. All spending ties files this pair with other program-by-state pages.
Later ingests can move dollars and the 7,862-award count. Prefer the overlay Social Security Retirement Insurance in Illinois when the live table and this snapshot disagree. The JSON is a packet, not a second official ledger.
What this join will not be stretched into
This page will not infer Illinois’s age structure, poverty rate, or retiree density from $108,134,459,610. Those measures are absent from the packet. It will not rank Illinois against other states on retirement insurance. Peer-state lists are not in the facts.
Disability and survivors catalog numbers remain outside this cell. Adding them would manufacture an “all Social Security” total. Stay with 96.002 × Illinois. CFDA 96.002, Illinois federal spending, Illinois programs, and All spending ties are the related hubs, not competing sums.
USAspending.gov award counts are file rows. They increment when a new award is recorded and when a modification is stored as its own line, depending on how the bulk file is rolled up. They do not increment when a new Illinois resident files for retirement. Treating 7,862 as a beneficiary census would collapse two different measurement systems. $108,134,459,610 stays an obligation sum on those rows.
A second trap is using the mean of about $13,754,065.07 per record as if it were a typical check. The mean is $108,134,459,610 divided by 7,862. A few large vehicles can pull that average far from any household’s monthly benefit. This packet does not publish a median, a mode, or a distribution, so none of those are described.
Keep the overlay Social Security Retirement Insurance in Illinois as the live cell. Keep Illinois federal spending, Illinois programs, CFDA 96.002, and All spending ties as the parent map. If those pages and this snapshot disagree after a later ingest, the overlay wins. Do not freeze $108,134,459,610 as a permanent official total.
