Social Security Survivors Insurance obligations in North Carolina

What the 96.004–North Carolina join is

CFDA 96.004 is titled SOCIAL SECURITY SURVIVORS INSURANCE. Crossed with North Carolina place of performance, obligations sum to $8,360,815,600 on 7,142 awards. The national 96.004 hub includes other states. North Carolina’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $8,360,815,600 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of surviving spouses or children in Charlotte or the Triangle.

7,142 awards is a thick assistance book relative to a five-row Title I cell. SSA programs often post many payment instruments rather than a handful of statewide formula grants. The join does not name SSA field offices, list beneficiaries, or count eligible survivors. Packet facts stop at $8,360,815,600, 7,142 awards, NC, 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 $8,360,815,600 would invent a broader income-security total than this cell contains. Disability insurance uses other numbers still. Facts available: North Carolina, CFDA 96.004, $8,360,815,600, 7,142 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 $8,360,815,600 by 7,142 yields about $1,170,655 per award—a record-level ratio, not a typical monthly survivor check. Unique recipients are unpublished. 7,142 is not a count of households.

North Carolina geography on the survivors tag

NC is the place-of-performance code. A survivors-insurance award can still appear as records tagged to Raleigh, Charlotte, or another in-state address. Awards coded to South Carolina, Virginia, or Tennessee stay outside $8,360,815,600 even when a beneficiary lives in a cross-border metro. The code does not convert $8.36 billion into a county map.

North Carolina federal spending is the all-program parent. 96.004 is one row on North Carolina programs. $8.36 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Social Security Survivors Insurance in North Carolina for the filtered table, CFDA 96.004 for 96.004 without a North Carolina filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $8,360,815,600.

Reading 7,142 awards under $8.36 billion

$8,360,815,600 ÷ 7,142 is about $1,170,655 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 7,142 as a record count, not as 7,142 finished cases.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $8,360,815,600 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 7,142 rows are continuations, corrections, or payment batches. Later ingests can restate $8,360,815,600 without changing the join key of 96.004 and NC.

What the survivors–North Carolina pair does not prove

A large 96.004 total tagged to North Carolina 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 $8,360,815,600 on 7,142 awards for Social Security Survivors Insurance in North Carolina.

Keep both sides of the join: Social Security Survivors Insurance and North Carolina, obligations only. Do not annualize $8,360,815,600 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 7,142 as a beneficiary census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a hardship story.
