Supplemental Security Income in Louisiana

The 96.006–Louisiana intersection

CFDA 96.006 is titled SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME. Crossed with Louisiana place of performance, obligations sum to $3,359,882,186 on 4,271 awards. The national SSI hub includes other states. Louisiana’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this pair is reported here. $3,359,882,186 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of SSI recipients.

4,271 awards is a high-volume benefit pattern: SSI typically posts as many payment-related instruments rather than a single statewide lump. The join does not name field offices, list payees, or count beneficiaries. Packet facts stop at $3,359,882,186, 4,271 awards, LA, and 96.006. Correlation is not causation. 4,271 SSI instruments carrying $3,359,882,186 is a high-volume payment-batch pattern, not 4,271 recipients and not a ranking of Louisiana as poorer than another state.

SSI is not Social Security retirement in this cell

The catalog title names Supplemental Security Income, a needs-tested SSA line. Retirement, survivors, and disability insurance catalogs are different rows and are not mixed into $3,359,882,186. Facts available: Louisiana, CFDA 96.006, $3,359,882,186, 4,271 awards. Payment rates, living-arrangement codes, and recipient names are not in the facts.

Dividing $3,359,882,186 by 4,271 yields about $786,673 per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 4,271 is not a census of people receiving SSI.

Louisiana as the geography side

LA is the place-of-performance code. An SSI obligation can still appear as records tagged to Baton Rouge, New Orleans, or another in-state address. Awards coded to Texas, Mississippi, or Arkansas stay outside $3,359,882,186 even when a recipient later moves. The code does not convert $3.36 billion into a parish caseload map. Retirement and disability-insurance catalogs stay outside $3,359,882,186; this cell is only Supplemental Security Income tagged to Louisiana. A high award count is not a poverty ranking.

Louisiana federal spending is the all-program parent. 96.006 is one row on Louisiana programs. $3.36 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Supplemental Security Income in Louisiana for the filtered table, CFDA 96.006 for 96.006 without a Louisiana filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $3,359,882,186.

Reading 4,271 awards under $3.36 billion

$3,359,882,186 ÷ 4,271 is about $786,673 per award. That average is not a median and not a typical monthly SSI check. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 4,271 as a record count, not as 4,271 people. A Baton Rouge or New Orleans address on a 96.006 instrument does not convert $3,359,882,186 into a parish caseload map.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $3,359,882,186 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 4,271 rows are continuations, modifications, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $3,359,882,186 without changing the join key of 96.006 and LA.

What the SSI–Louisiana pair does not prove

A large 96.006 total tagged to Louisiana does not measure poverty, and it does not equal checks already mailed. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $3,359,882,186 on 4,271 awards for Supplemental Security Income in Louisiana.

Keep both sides of the join: Supplemental Security Income and Louisiana, obligations only. Do not annualize $3,359,882,186 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 4,271 as a person census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a disability-policy story. Packet facts stop at the obligation total, the award count, the CFDA number, and the state code.

Using the SSI–Louisiana overlay

The overlay target is the Louisiana × CFDA 96.006 table. Open Supplemental Security Income in Louisiana when you want the same $3,359,882,186 / 4,271-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 96.006 drops the Louisiana filter. Louisiana federal spending drops the CFDA filter. Louisiana programs lists other catalogs beside 96.006. All spending ties indexes other pairs.

This page exists because two tables meet: a CFDA program and a place-of-performance state. It does not exist to argue that Louisiana won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 96.006 plus LA. Obligations of $3,359,882,186 are not outlays.
