Social Security Survivors Insurance in Mississippi 4th District (MS-04)
CFDA 96.004 and Mississippi 4th District (MS-04) meet at $344,494,263 in USAspending.gov obligations, spread across 239 awards. Two hundred thirty-nine survivors-insurance awards equal under one percent of Mississippi 4th District’s huge district obligation total — a moderate Social Security file against a very large parent. That pair is Social Security Survivors Insurance and Mississippi 4th District (MS-04) — not Mississippi’s entire federal inflow, not Social Security Survivors Insurance nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 0.7% of this district’s published obligation total ($48,208,185,379.24). Implied average obligation is about $1,441,398.59 ($344,494,263 ÷ 239). Correlation is not causation.

Reading CFDA 96.004 inside MS-04
CFDA 96.004 and congressional district MS-04 meet here. $344,494,263 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Social Security Survivors Insurance’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Mississippi 4th District (MS-04), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split worker from child from spouse benefits and does not publish a beneficiary denominator. 239 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a beneficiary census, a claims roster, or a named-recipient file.
Dividing $344,494,263 by 239 yields about $1,441,398.59 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical monthly benefit or a posted per-beneficiary figure. 239 awards is a moderate survivors file. A small share of a large parent is arithmetic, not a ranking of Mississippi districts. Do not treat MS-04’s 96.004 cell as a synonym for every SSI Survivors account nationwide. Open Mississippi 4th District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 96.004 for CFDA 96.004 without the MS-04 filter, Mississippi federal spending for every program in the Mississippi extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $344,494,263.
Program 96.004 without inventing a project pie
USAspending labels CFDA 96.004 as Social Security Survivors Insurance. That catalog number produced $344,494,263 when crossed with Mississippi 4th District (MS-04) place of performance. The program-wide 96.004 hub does not require MS-04 geography. The district hub does not require SSI Survivors. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 239 awards. The packet does not split worker from child from spouse benefits and does not publish a beneficiary denominator.
Correlation is not causation: Mississippi 4th District (MS-04) did not cause $344,494,263 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 96.004 × MS-04 only. This cell is not a beneficiary census, a claims roster, or a named-recipient file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
How Mississippi 4th District is coded
Mississippi 4th District (MS-04) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list MS-04 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Mississippi districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 96.004. Mississippi 4th District (MS-04) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Mississippi. Other Mississippi districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 96.004. Mississippi 4th District (MS-04) is a numbered USAspending geography inside Mississippi. Other Mississippi districts keep their own 96.004 ties if they exist.
Mississippi federal spending shows how CFDA 96.004 sits beside other programs in the same state extract. $344,494,263 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split Mississippi 4th District (MS-04) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different CFDA stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Social Security Survivors Insurance. The district-wide obligation total published here is $48,208,185,379.24; $344,494,263 is the SSI Survivors slice of that denominator.
What the dollar figure is allowed to mean
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $344,494,263 is that kind of sum for Social Security Survivors Insurance inside MS-04 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same CFDA rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $344,494,263 as given.
Mississippi’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 239-row SSI Survivors cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 239 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 239 is not a count of beneficiaries, claims, or SSA offices. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($1,441,398.59) is a concentration statistic, not a typical monthly benefit or a posted per-beneficiary figure.
Parents of this tie: district, program, state
Cite USAspending.gov: Social Security Survivors Insurance (CFDA 96.004) obligated $344,494,263 on 239 awards coded to Mississippi 4th District (MS-04). Name Social Security Survivors Insurance and Mississippi 4th District (MS-04) together. Keep the obligation word. If Mississippi 4th District or CFDA 96.004 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a beneficiary census, a claims roster, or a named-recipient file. 0.7% of $48,208,185,379.24 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. The $48-billion-class district denominator dwarfs this 96.004 cell. That does not make survivors insurance unimportant; it means other programs occupy more of the published MS-04 book. Those other programs are other ties.
Keep Social Security Survivors Insurance, Mississippi 4th District (MS-04), $344,494,263, and 239 awards together. All spending ties indexes other pairs. CFDA 96.004 is the 96.004 parent without a MS-04 filter. Mississippi federal spending is the Mississippi parent. Do not add those parents to this cell. Sharing a district with SSI Survivors does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. This page reports one USAspending join.
Limits of the MS-04 × 96.004 snapshot
239 awards is a moderate survivors file. A small share of a large parent is arithmetic, not a ranking of Mississippi districts. The $48-billion-class district denominator dwarfs this 96.004 cell. That does not make survivors insurance unimportant; it means other programs occupy more of the published MS-04 book. Those other programs are other ties. A large row count makes a project split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $1,441,398.59) and the district share (0.7% of $48,208,185,379.24) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Mississippi 4th District and CFDA 96.004 if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much SSI Survivors spending is coded to Mississippi 4th District (MS-04)?
- USAspending.gov lists $344,494,263 in Social Security Survivors Insurance obligations across 239 awards with place of performance in Mississippi 4th District (MS-04).

Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $1,441,398.59, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $344,494,263 include every SSI Survivors project in MS-04?
- The packet publishes one CFDA rollup. The packet does not split worker from child from spouse benefits and does not publish a beneficiary denominator. $344,494,263 is the combined obligation sum for CFDA 96.004 inside MS-04 coding. This page will not invent a project pie or name contractors. Open CFDA 96.004 and Mississippi 4th District to inspect parent tables. 239 remains an action count, not a count of beneficiaries, claims, or SSA offices.
- Is $344,494,263 cash already paid in Mississippi 4th District (MS-04)?

Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.
