Social Security Survivors Insurance federal funding in California
Social Security Survivors Insurance (CFDA 96.004) shows $24,853,144,423 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to California, across 5,161 awards. This page joins that SSA catalog program to California place-of-performance. It is not a count of surviving spouses or children, not a Trust Fund statement, and not an outlay conversion. USAspending.gov is the source table.
Key figures
- CFDA 96.004 × California records $24,853,144,423 in USAspending obligations.
- 5,161 awards underlie that sum; the mean is about $4.82 million per record, not a typical check.
- Matching survivors insurance to California is not causation and not a family census.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
Survivors insurance meeting California in the award file
CFDA 96.004 is Social Security Survivors Insurance. California (CA) is the geography tag. Together they produce $24,853,144,423 and 5,161 records. A 96.004 award tagged to Nevada or Oregon is excluded. A California SSDI (96.001), SNAP, school-lunch, or VA row is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the survivors cell.
Five thousand one hundred sixty-one awards against $24,853,144,423 yields a mean of about $4,815,568 per record. That mean is not a typical monthly survivors check. Large assistance vehicles and modifications can dominate dollars. This packet does not list beneficiaries or family types.
Sacramento did not cause $24,853,144,423 by appearing as a state code. Correlation is not causation. Social Security Survivors Insurance in California is the live overlay.
What CFDA 96.004 reports without becoming a family census
SpendingVault does not grade California’s survivors-benefit processing. $24,853,144,423 is an obligation sum, not a caseload of widows, widowers, or children. CFDA 96.004 is the national hub without the California filter. This packet has no national survivors-insurance total, so none is quoted.
SSA statistical supplements are a different series. They are not the 5,161 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing a beneficiary count from those files with this join would invent a per-person figure the packet does not support.
California’s statewide book besides 96.004
California federal spending covers every CFDA coded to the state. California programs is the catalog directory, including SSDI. $24,853,144,423 is one cell, not an “all Social Security” total.
Place-of-performance California on a survivors-insurance vehicle can be a payment center. It is not automatically the ZIP where a survivor lives. This packet has no county split of the $24,853,144,423.
Obligations versus checks already mailed
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $24,853,144,423 is the commitment figure. This page does not convert the 5,161 awards into deposits.
State budget documents are different ledgers. Keep the citation on USAspending.gov.
How to cite the 96.004–California join
Cite: Social Security Survivors Insurance (CFDA 96.004) obligated $24,853,144,423 on 5,161 awards coded to California, per USAspending.gov. Keep both keys. Do not invent a fiscal year. All spending ties stores this pair with other program-by-state pages.
Later bulk files can move the dollars and the 5,161-award count. Prefer the overlay Social Security Survivors Insurance in California when the live table and this snapshot diverge.
What 5,161 rows will not be asked to prove
This page will not treat 5,161 awards as 5,161 surviving families. It will not compute a per-beneficiary figure because the packet has no beneficiary census. It will not rank California against Texas or Florida on 96.004. Peer totals are other packets.
SSDI, SNAP, school lunch, VA compensation, and disaster grants remain outside $24,853,144,423. California federal spending, California programs, CFDA 96.004, and All spending ties are the parent hubs. None of them recasts this join as a grade of California’s survivors-benefit system or as an outlay.
The mean of about $4.82 million per record is a quotient, not a typical monthly check. Keep both the program name and California in every citation sentence. Treat this JSON as a packet snapshot. A payment center tagged to California can carry a large share of the book even if survivors live elsewhere.
Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a residence map. If a later ingest disagrees, the overlay wins. This page does not convert the join into a statement about family structure—those topics are absent from the packet. Keep USAspending.gov as the cited source and keep the obligation label on every sentence that uses the total.
SSA survivors benefits cover several family categories. This packet does not split them. Inferring a count of widows or of children from 5,161 awards would be a category error. $24,853,144,423 remains an obligation cell on CFDA 96.004 with California place-of-performance.
A payment center tagged to California can dominate the book even if survivors live elsewhere. That possibility is why place-of-performance is a coding field. Social Security Survivors Insurance in California remains the live overlay if later ingests move the dollars.
Do not add SSDI to this survivors total. Keep $24,853,144,423 on 96.004. Keep USAspending.gov as the cited source and keep the obligation label on every sentence that uses the figure. California federal spending and California programs remain the parent directory.
