Supplemental Security Income in Kentucky

Kentucky’s high-count SSI cell

CFDA 96.006 is titled SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME. Crossed with Kentucky place of performance, obligations sum to $3,226,712,284 on 6,180 awards. The national Supplemental Security Income hub includes other states. Kentucky’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $3,226,712,284 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a hearing-office docket or a representative-payee list.

6,180 is the highest SSI award count in this slice of state-program ties, which usually means more payment-related instruments rather than a larger monthly check. The implied mean of about $522,122 per award is still far above a typical monthly SSI payment. The join does not name recipients, list contractors, or invent donor names. Packet facts stop at $3,226,712,284, 6,180 awards, KY, and 96.006. Correlation is not causation. Kentucky’s 6,180 SSI rows are the high-count side of this slice, which usually means more payment instruments rather than a larger typical check against the $3,226,712,284 total.

SSI is still not retirement insurance here

The catalog title names Supplemental Security Income. It is not Old-Age, Survivors, and Disability Insurance (a different SSA catalog). Mixing other catalogs into $3,226,712,284 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Kentucky, CFDA 96.006, $3,226,712,284, 6,180 awards. Recipient names, invoices, and caseload counts are not in the facts.

Dividing $3,226,712,284 by 6,180 yields about $522,122 per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 6,180 is a USAspending award-record count, not a person, school, clinic, or contractor census.

Kentucky geography on 96.006

KY is the place-of-performance code. Awards coded to Tennessee, Ohio, Indiana, West Virginia, or Illinois stay outside $3,226,712,284 even when a recipient later moves. A statewide SSI obligation can still appear as records tagged to Frankfort, Louisville, or another in-state address. The code does not convert $3,226,712,284 into a county map or a ranking of places as winners or losers.

Kentucky federal spending is the all-program parent. 96.006 is one row on Kentucky programs. $3,226,712,284 is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Supplemental Security Income in Kentucky for the filtered table, CFDA 96.006 for 96.006 without a Kentucky filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $3,226,712,284.

6,180 records versus $3.23 billion

$3,226,712,284 ÷ 6,180 is about $522,122 per award. That average is not a median and not a typical household, student, or meal payment. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 6,180 as a record count. A high row count is not a finding that Kentucky is poorer than a state with fewer SSI instruments and a similar dollar cell.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $3,226,712,284 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 6,180 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $3,226,712,284 without changing the join key of 96.006 and KY.

What the SSI–Kentucky pair is not

A 96.006 total tagged to Kentucky does not measure program quality, and it does not equal cash already paid. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $3,226,712,284 on 6,180 awards for Supplemental Security Income in Kentucky.

Keep both sides of the join: Supplemental Security Income and Kentucky, obligations only. Do not annualize $3,226,712,284 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 6,180 as a person or contractor census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a policy story.

The 96.006–Kentucky overlay

Obligations of $3,226,712,284 are not outlays.
