Social Security Survivors Insurance funding in Pennsylvania

Social Security Survivors Insurance (CFDA 96.004) obligations tagged to Pennsylvania total $11,863,111,063 on USAspending.gov across 5,160 awards. Pennsylvania already has a thick SSDI cell on CFDA 96.001; this page is the survivors Catalog number on the same state tag. The two cells are neighbors, not substitutes, and neither is a death-rate ranking. Five thousand one hundred sixty survivors-insurance actions are Pennsylvania’s 96.004 grain, sitting beside a thicker SSDI cell on the same PA tag.

Key figures

  • Pennsylvania survivors insurance (CFDA 96.004): $11,863,111,063 on 5,160 USAspending awards.
  • The implied mean is about $2,299,100 per award; that is not a typical monthly check.
  • Do not add this cell to Pennsylvania SSDI and call the sum official.
  • Cite obligations, not outlays; no fiscal year is attached.
  • The join is 96.004 × PA, not a mortality ranking.

A second Social Security join on the PA tag

Keep USAspending rows labeled SOCIAL SECURITY SURVIVORS INSURANCE whose geography is Pennsylvania (PA). Five thousand one hundred sixty awards remain. They sum to $11,863,111,063. Survivors insurance pays eligible family members of deceased insured workers. The extract counts CFDA 96.004 award actions, not obituaries and not a county caseload.

The implied mean is about $2,299,100 per award. As on other Title II cells, the prime file can post large assistance actions rather than one row per monthly check. Unique survivors are unpublished.

Pennsylvania federal spending is every CFDA on PA. CFDA 96.004 is survivors insurance nationwide. Social Security Survivors Insurance in Pennsylvania is the overlap. Pennsylvania programs and All spending ties are the indexes. The SSDI overlay on 96.001 is a different pair.

Pennsylvania SSDI (96.001) is a different join with its own dollar total. Survivors insurance is 96.004. A reader who combines them without labeling both Catalog numbers has left this page’s contract.

Spouses, children, and other eligible survivors are not split in the facts. $11,863,111,063 is the obligation sum, not a family-type table.

Do not add survivors to SSDI and call it Social Security

Adding $11,863,111,063 to the Pennsylvania SSDI total would be arithmetic on two joins, not a published SSA series. Retirement, disability, survivors, and SSI use separate Catalog numbers. This page keeps 96.004 only.

Place-of-performance can follow administration or beneficiary geography. A PA tag does not prove every survivor lives in Pennsylvania. This page will not relocate people from the dollar total.

5,160 actions sit near New York’s 5,225-row 96.004 file in texture. That resemblance is bookkeeping, not a finding that the two states have similar survivor populations.

A lump-sum death payment coded elsewhere is outside this cell. Do not assume it sits inside 5,160 awards.

Obligations versus checks deposited

Quote $11,863,111,063 as USAspending obligations for CFDA 96.004 in Pennsylvania. Do not quote it as benefits already paid. Outlays and SSA statistical tables are other sources.

No fiscal year is in the facts. Do not invent one. Cite USAspending.gov CFDA program aggregates by place of performance state.

SSA statistical tables on survivors are a different publication. Mixing them with USAspending 96.004 without a crosswalk invents a series.

Statewide PA, not a Pittsburgh-versus-Philadelphia split

This packet does not split 5,160 awards or $11,863,111,063 by metro. A local survivors story needs a different table. The extract stays statewide.

Do not rank Pennsylvania as older or more bereaved from this cell. Demography is not a fact here. Correlation with the SSDI cell is not causation.

Philadelphia, Pittsburgh, and the central counties share PA. A metro survivors story needs SSA geography, not this statewide extract.
