Social Security Retirement Insurance federal funding in South Dakota

Social Security Retirement Insurance (CFDA 96.002) shows $9,043,444,047 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to South Dakota, across 1,914 awards. This page is the join of that catalog program and South Dakota place-of-performance. It is not a Trust Fund statement, not a count of South Dakota retirees, and not an outlay series. SpendingVault indexes the pair; USAspending.gov is the source.

Key figures

  • CFDA 96.002 × South Dakota records $9,043,444,047 in USAspending obligations.
  • 1,914 awards underlie that sum; the mean is about $4.72 million per record, not a typical check.
  • Matching retirement insurance to South Dakota is not causation and not a retiree census.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

The 96.002 and South Dakota filters together

The program key is CFDA 96.002. The geography key is South Dakota (SD). Their overlap is $9,043,444,047 and 1,914 records. A 96.002 award tagged to North Dakota, Minnesota, or Nebraska is out of this cell. A South Dakota 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 $9,043,444,047.

1,914 awards against $9,043,444,047 produces a mean of about $4,724,892.40 per record. That mean is a quotient of packet facts, not a typical monthly benefit and not a typical South Dakota 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. 1,914 awards is still far below a beneficiary census.

Pierre did not cause the $9,043,444,047 by appearing as a state code, and SSA did not “award South Dakota” in a sense this extract can prove. Matching a CFDA to a state is not causation. The overlay Social Security Retirement Insurance in South Dakota 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 $9,043,444,047 carries the retirement-insurance catalog title. CFDA 96.002 is the national program hub with the South Dakota filter removed. This packet does not include a national total, so South Dakota 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 1,914 USAspending.gov rows.

Trust Fund ratios, average monthly benefits, and COLA announcements live in other SSA products. Placing any of those next to $9,043,444,047 would mix files. This page stays with the award aggregate.

The South Dakota book is wider than retirement insurance

South Dakota federal spending aggregates every CFDA coded to the state. South Dakota programs is the catalog directory. $9,043,444,047 is one cell inside those views. Quoting it as “federal spending in South Dakota” would drop every other program, including Medicaid, SSDI, and disaster-grant lines that also hit the state.

Place-of-performance South Dakota 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 $9,043,444,047 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. $9,043,444,047 is the first. Using it as a proxy for deposits already in South Dakota bank accounts will misstate cash depending on timing, recoveries, and deobligations. SpendingVault does not convert the 1,914 awards into payments.

Pierre 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–South Dakota pair

Cite USAspending.gov: Social Security Retirement Insurance (CFDA 96.002) obligated $9,043,444,047 on 1,914 awards coded to South Dakota. 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 1,914-award count. Prefer the overlay Social Security Retirement Insurance in South Dakota 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 treat 1,914 awards as 1,914 retirees. Award rows are not people. It will not compute a per-retiree figure because the packet has no beneficiary census. It will not rank South Dakota against other states on 96.002. Peer totals are other packets.

Disability insurance and survivors insurance remain outside $9,043,444,047. South Dakota federal spending, South Dakota programs, CFDA 96.002, and All spending ties are the parent hubs. None of them recasts this join as a grade of South Dakota’s retiree economy or as an outlay.

The mean of about $4.72 million per record is a quotient, not a typical monthly check. Keep both Social Security Retirement Insurance and South Dakota in every citation sentence. Treat this JSON as a packet snapshot. A payment center tagged to South Dakota can carry a large share of the book even if beneficiaries live elsewhere.

Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a residence map. If a later ingest disagrees, the overlay wins. Do not freeze $9,043,444,047 as a permanent SSA press total. Keep USAspending.gov as the cited source and keep the obligation label. COLA debates, Trust Fund solvency, and rural-aging stories are absent from the packet and will not be used to explain the cell.

South Dakota’s small population does not make 1,914 awards a complete map of retirees. The extract cannot split retirement insurance from other SSA catalog lines. It only reports 1,914 awards and $9,043,444,047 on CFDA 96.002 with South Dakota geography. South Dakota federal spending and South Dakota programs remain the parent directory. Keep both keys in the citation. Keep the obligation label.

Questions

How much Social Security Retirement Insurance is obligated in South Dakota?
USAspending.gov records $9,043,444,047 in CFDA 96.002 obligations across 1,914 awards coded to South Dakota. That is a program × state join, not an outlay and not South Dakota’s full federal total. Other SSA catalog lines sit on separate pages.
Is 1,914 a count of South Dakota retirees?
No. It is an award-row count. $9,043,444,047 ÷ 1,914 is about $4.72 million per record as a mean, not a typical monthly benefit. Beneficiary statistics live in other SSA publications. This packet does not list retirees or payment centers by name.
Does this include SSDI in South Dakota?
No. The cell is CFDA 96.002 only. Social Security Disability Insurance is CFDA 96.001, a separate join. The $9,043,444,047 does not swallow SSDI. Mixing siblings would invent an “all Social Security” total the packet never computed.
Where is the live overlay?
Social Security Retirement Insurance in South Dakota is the overlay. See South Dakota federal spending, South Dakota programs, CFDA 96.002, and All spending ties. Later ingests override this snapshot. Keep both Social Security Retirement Insurance and South Dakota in the citation.

USAspending.gov CFDA program aggregates by place of performance state. Obligations are not outlays.
