Social Security Retirement Insurance obligations in Vermont
USAspending.gov records $7,608,212,164 in Social Security Retirement Insurance obligations under CFDA 96.002 with place of performance in Vermont, spread across 406 awards. That figure is an obligation sum for one Catalog of Federal Domestic Assistance number inside one state, not an outlay ledger and not Vermont’s full federal footprint. Four hundred six awards totaling $7,608,212,164 describe a retirement-insurance extract, not 406 Vermont retirees and not a monthly-check census. The pair is a join: program 96.002 and state VT.

What this Social Security Retirement Insurance–Vermont join is
Social Security Retirement Insurance and Vermont meet on this page. $7,608,212,164 is the obligation sum on records that carry both keys. The Vermont spending hub totals every CFDA in the state. The national Social Security Retirement Insurance hub totals every state for 96.002. This page is the overlap, not a ranking of programs and not a claim that Vermont caused the awards. USAspending.gov is the source table. Obligations are commitments recorded on the award file, not outlays that have already left the Treasury.
406 awards against $7,608,212,164 yields about $18,739,438.83 per award if the sum were divided evenly. That mean is arithmetic, not a typical instrument and not a median. Correlation between a catalog code and a Vermont place-of-performance tag is not causation. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Campaign-finance tables and federal award tables remain separate datasets even when they share a geography label.
CFDA 96.002 without a beneficiary roster
The catalog number is 96.002. Official title: SOCIAL SECURITY RETIREMENT INSURANCE. Disability-insurance or other social security listings that do not carry CFDA 96.002 would invent a combined total this packet never computed. Packet facts on the program side stop at the name Social Security Retirement Insurance, the number 96.002, $7,608,212,164, and 406 awards. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names. Social Security Retirement Insurance as a catalog title describes the assistance type on the award file. It does not prove how each dollar was used on the ground.
The catalog string does not grade Vermont and does not name retirees, field offices, or monthly checks. Place of performance can sit on a statewide stamp that only says Vermont. Burlington, Montpelier, or Rutland folklore may send a reader here; those stories are not a metro split in this packet. The nationwide CFDA 96.002 page includes other geographies, so it is not this cell.
Vermont place of performance on retirement insurance
Vermont is USAspending state code VT. A recipient headquartered elsewhere can still show VT if performance is coded there. Awards coded to New Hampshire, New York, or Massachusetts stay on other state–program ties. $7,608,212,164 is not Vermont’s private budget and is not every federal dollar that touches related work in the state. Statewide Vermont federal spending is the parent table. CFDA 96.002 is one program inside that table.
Readers who want every Vermont assistance line should use the Vermont programs index rather than this single join. Matching 96.002 to Vermont does not mean the state selected these awards. It also does not mean outlays equal $7,608,212,164 inside Vermont. Reuse $7,608,212,164 only with both join sides named: Social Security Retirement Insurance and Vermont.
406 awards behind $7,608,212,164
406 is the award-record count, not 406 retirees, field offices, or monthly checks. Average obligation is about $18,739,438.83 ($7,608,212,164 ÷ 406). That mean can hide a mix of large cooperative agreements, formula awards, and smaller modifications. The packet does not publish a median, a maximum, or a year-by-year split. Treat 406 as the award-record count in the aggregate.
Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $7,608,212,164 as given in the USAspending program-by-state aggregate. Unique vendors stay unpublished. Later bulk files can move both the dollars and the 406-award count. If a live table later shows a different total than $7,608,212,164, treat the live harvest as newer and this copy as a narrative of the packet facts. Do not average the two figures.
What retirement insurance in Vermont is not
A shared state tag does not mean Vermont selected these awards, and it does not convert Social Security Retirement Insurance outlays to $7,608,212,164 inside the state. The join is not a census of retirees, field offices, or monthly checks. It is not disability-insurance or other Social Security listings that do not carry CFDA 96.002. FEC filings do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation.

Reading the 96.002 Vermont overlay
The overlay for Social Security Retirement Insurance in Vermont is the tabular sibling of this prose page. It holds the same two keys—CFDA 96.002 and Vermont place of performance—without adding a fiscal-year series that the packet does not supply. Award count 406 should be checked the same way: a later rebuild can add or drop rows when USAspending restates assistance records. Researchers who need Social Security Retirement Insurance in every state should use the national CFDA 96.002 hub.
This page exists because two tables meet. It does not treat 406 awards as the number of retirees, field offices, or monthly checks. Obligations remain commitments on the award file, not outlays already paid. Prefer live tables at /states/vt/programs/96.002/, /programs/96.002/, /states/vt/, /states/vt/programs/, and /ties/ after later ingests. Keep Social Security Retirement Insurance and Vermont together when citing $7,608,212,164.
