Social Security Survivors Insurance obligations in New Jersey

What the 96.004–New Jersey join is

CFDA 96.004 is titled SOCIAL SECURITY SURVIVORS INSURANCE. Crossed with New Jersey place of performance, obligations sum to $6,768,610,333 on 1,891 awards. The national 96.004 hub includes other states. New Jersey’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $6,768,610,333 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of surviving spouses or children in Newark, Trenton, or the shore counties.

1,891 awards is a thinner book than some southern 96.004 cells at a similar dollar scale, which means a higher mean per record. That is a reporting pattern, not a ranking of states. The join does not name SSA field offices, list beneficiaries, or count eligible survivors. Packet facts stop at $6,768,610,333, 1,891 awards, NJ, and 96.004.

96.004 is not retirement or SSI

Social Security retirement insurance and Supplemental Security Income (CFDA 96.006) are different SSA catalogs. Mixing those dollars into $6,768,610,333 would invent a broader income-security total than this cell contains. Disability insurance uses other numbers still. Facts available: New Jersey, CFDA 96.004, $6,768,610,333, 1,891 awards. Benefit formulas and caseload counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Social Security Survivors Insurance, not a ranking of county need. Dividing $6,768,610,333 by 1,891 yields about $3,579,381 per award—a record-level ratio, not a typical monthly survivor check. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1,891 is not a count of households.

New Jersey geography on the survivors tag

NJ is the place-of-performance code. A survivors-insurance award can still appear as records tagged to Trenton, Newark, or another in-state address. Awards coded to New York, Pennsylvania, or Delaware stay outside $6,768,610,333 even when a beneficiary lives in a cross-border metro. The code does not convert $6.77 billion into a county map.

New Jersey federal spending is the all-program parent. 96.004 is one row on New Jersey programs. $6.77 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Social Security Survivors Insurance in New Jersey for the filtered table, CFDA 96.004 for 96.004 without a New Jersey filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $6,768,610,333.

Reading 1,891 awards under $6.77 billion

$6,768,610,333 ÷ 1,891 is about $3,579,381 per award. That average is a ratio of two packet facts, not a typical monthly benefit and not a median. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 1,891 as a record count, not as 1,891 finished cases.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $6,768,610,333 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 1,891 rows are continuations, corrections, or payment batches. Later ingests can restate $6,768,610,333 without changing the join key of 96.004 and NJ.

What the survivors–New Jersey pair does not prove

A large 96.004 total tagged to New Jersey does not measure whether survivor benefits were adequate, and it does not equal services delivered. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $6,768,610,333 on 1,891 awards for Social Security Survivors Insurance in New Jersey.

Keep both sides of the join: Social Security Survivors Insurance and New Jersey, obligations only. Do not annualize $6,768,610,333 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 1,891 as a beneficiary census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a hardship story.
