Social Security Retirement Insurance federal funding in Missouri

Social Security Retirement Insurance (CFDA 96.002) shows $58,151,729,464 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Missouri, across 6,505 awards. This page is the join of that catalog program and Missouri place-of-performance. It is not a Trust Fund statement, not a count of Missouri retirees, and not an outlay series. SpendingVault indexes the pair; USAspending.gov is the source.

Key figures

  • CFDA 96.002 × Missouri records $58,151,729,464 in USAspending obligations.
  • 6,505 awards underlie that sum; the mean is about $8,939,543.35 per record, not a typical benefit.
  • Matching retirement insurance to Missouri is not causation.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

The 96.002 and Missouri filters together

The program key is CFDA 96.002. The geography key is Missouri (MO). Their overlap is $58,151,729,464 and 6,505 records. A 96.002 award tagged to a neighboring state is out of this cell. A Missouri 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 $58,151,729,464.

6,505 awards against $58,151,729,464 produces a mean of about $8,939,543.35 per record. That mean is a quotient of packet facts, not a typical monthly benefit and not a typical Missouri 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. 6,505 awards is a denser grain than many Medicare cells, still far below a beneficiary census.

Jefferson City did not cause the $58,151,729,464 by appearing as a state code, and SSA did not “award Missouri” in a sense this extract can prove. Matching a CFDA to a state is not causation. The overlay Social Security Retirement Insurance in Missouri 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 $58,151,729,464 carries the retirement-insurance catalog title. CFDA 96.002 is the national program hub with the Missouri filter removed. This packet does not include a national total, so Missouri 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 6,505 USAspending.gov rows.

Trust Fund ratios, average monthly benefits, and COLA announcements live in other SSA products. Placing any of those next to $58,151,729,464 would mix files. This page stays with the award aggregate.

The Missouri book is wider than retirement insurance

Missouri federal spending aggregates every CFDA coded to the state. Missouri programs is the catalog directory. $58,151,729,464 is one cell inside those views. Quoting it as “federal spending in Missouri” would drop every other program, including the Medicare and Medical Assistance cells that also appear as Missouri joins.

Place-of-performance Missouri 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 $58,151,729,464 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. $58,151,729,464 is the first. Using it as a proxy for deposits already in Missouri bank accounts will misstate cash depending on timing, recoveries, and deobligations. SpendingVault does not convert the 6,505 awards into payments.

Jefferson City 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–Missouri pair

Cite USAspending.gov: Social Security Retirement Insurance (CFDA 96.002) obligated $58,151,729,464 on 6,505 awards coded to Missouri. 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 6,505-award count. Prefer the overlay Social Security Retirement Insurance in Missouri 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 Missouri’s age structure, poverty rate, or retiree density from $58,151,729,464. Those measures are absent from the packet. It will not rank Missouri 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 × Missouri. CFDA 96.002, Missouri federal spending, Missouri 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 Missouri resident files for retirement. Treating 6,505 as a beneficiary census would collapse two different measurement systems. $58,151,729,464 stays an obligation sum on those rows.

A second trap is using the mean of about $8,939,543.35 per record as if it were a typical check. The mean is $58,151,729,464 divided by 6,505. 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 Missouri as the live cell. Keep Missouri federal spending, Missouri 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 $58,151,729,464 as a permanent official total.

Questions

How much Social Security Retirement Insurance is obligated in Missouri?
USAspending.gov records $58,151,729,464 in CFDA 96.002 obligations across 6,505 awards coded to Missouri. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not Missouri’s full federal total.
Is 6,505 a count of Missouri retirees?
No. It is an award-row count. $58,151,729,464 ÷ 6,505 is about $8,939,543.35 per record as a mean, not a typical monthly benefit. Beneficiary statistics live in other SSA publications.
