Social Security Retirement Insurance federal funding in Pennsylvania

Retirement insurance meeting Pennsylvania in the award file

The program key is CFDA 96.002. The geography key is Pennsylvania (PA). Their overlap is $135,128,227,076 and 5,874 records. A 96.002 award tagged to Ohio or New Jersey is out of this cell. A Pennsylvania 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 $135,128,227,076.

Five thousand eight hundred seventy-four awards against $135,128,227,076 produces a mean of about $23,004,465 per record. That mean is a quotient of packet facts, not a typical monthly benefit and not a typical Pennsylvania 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.

Pennsylvania did not cause the $135,128,227,076 by appearing as a state code, and SSA did not “award the Commonwealth” in a sense this extract can prove. Matching a CFDA to a state is not causation. The overlay Social Security Retirement Insurance in Pennsylvania 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 $135,128,227,076 carries the retirement-insurance catalog title. CFDA 96.002 is the national program hub with the Pennsylvania filter removed. This packet does not include a national total, so Pennsylvania 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 5,874 USAspending.gov rows.

Trust Fund ratios, average monthly benefits, and COLA announcements live in other SSA products. Placing any of those next to $135,128,227,076 would mix files. This page stays with the award aggregate.

The Commonwealth book is wider than retirement insurance

Pennsylvania federal spending aggregates every CFDA coded to the state. Pennsylvania programs is the catalog directory. $135,128,227,076 is one cell inside those views. Quoting it as “federal spending in Pennsylvania” would drop every other program, including the Medicare and Medical Assistance cells that also appear in this slice’s neighborhood.

Place-of-performance Pennsylvania 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 $135,128,227,076 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. $135,128,227,076 is the first. Using it as a proxy for deposits already in Pennsylvania bank accounts will misstate cash depending on timing, recoveries, and deobligations. SpendingVault does not convert the 5,874 awards into payments.

Harrisburg budget documents and the Commonwealth’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–Pennsylvania pair

Cite USAspending.gov: Social Security Retirement Insurance (CFDA 96.002) obligated $135,128,227,076 on 5,874 awards coded to Pennsylvania. 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 5,874-award count. Prefer the overlay Social Security Retirement Insurance in Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania’s age structure, poverty rate, or retiree density from $135,128,227,076. Those measures are absent from the packet. It will not rank the Commonwealth against Texas or New York 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 × Pennsylvania. CFDA 96.002, Pennsylvania federal spending, Pennsylvania 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 Pennsylvania resident files for retirement. Treating 5,874 as a beneficiary census would collapse two different measurement systems. $135,128,227,076 stays an obligation sum on those rows.

A second trap is using the mean of about $23.0 million per record as if it were a typical check. The mean is $135,128,227,076 divided by 5,874. 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 Pennsylvania as the live cell. Keep Pennsylvania federal spending, Pennsylvania 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 $135,128,227,076 as a permanent official total.

Questions

How much Social Security Retirement Insurance is obligated in Pennsylvania?

USAspending.gov records $135,128,227,076 in CFDA 96.002 obligations across 5,874 awards coded to Pennsylvania. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not the Commonwealth’s full federal total.

Is 5,874 a count of Pennsylvania retirees?

No. It is an award-row count. $135,128,227,076 ÷ 5,874 is about $23.0 million per record as a mean, not a typical monthly benefit. Beneficiary statistics live in other SSA publications.

Does this include disability or survivors insurance?

No. The cell is CFDA 96.002 only. Other SSA catalog numbers are separate joins. The $135,128,227,076 does not swallow those programs.

Social Security Retirement Insurance in Pennsylvania is the overlay. See Pennsylvania federal spending, Pennsylvania programs, CFDA 96.002, and All spending ties. Later bulk files override this snapshot.
