Supplemental Security Income in New Jersey

How New Jersey meets the SSI catalog

CFDA 96.006 is titled SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME. Crossed with New Jersey place of performance, obligations sum to $3,260,965,028 on 1,845 awards. The national Supplemental Security Income hub includes other states. New Jersey’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $3,260,965,028 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a field-office directory or a payee list.

1,845 rows is denser than a handful of statewide lumps and thinner than a person-level file. The implied mean of about $1.77 million per award is a payment-batch scale, not a typical monthly SSI check. The join does not name recipients, list contractors, or invent donor names. Packet facts stop at $3,260,965,028, 1,845 awards, NJ, and 96.006. Correlation is not causation. New Jersey’s 1,845-row SSI cell is denser than a statewide lump and still far from a person-level file, so the $3,260,965,028 total cannot be read as 1,845 monthly checks.

Needs-tested SSI versus other SSA rows

The catalog title names Supplemental Security Income. It is not Social Security retirement or disability insurance (those are different SSA catalogs). Mixing other catalogs into $3,260,965,028 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: New Jersey, CFDA 96.006, $3,260,965,028, 1,845 awards. Recipient names, invoices, and caseload counts are not in the facts.

Dividing $3,260,965,028 by 1,845 yields about $1.77 million per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 1,845 is a USAspending award-record count, not a person, school, clinic, or contractor census.

New Jersey as a place-of-performance code

NJ is the place-of-performance code. Awards coded to New York, Pennsylvania, or Delaware stay outside the $3,260,965,028 cell even when a recipient later moves. A statewide SSI obligation can still appear as records tagged to Trenton, Newark, or another in-state address. The code does not convert $3,260,965,028 into a county map or a ranking of places as winners or losers.

New Jersey federal spending is the all-program parent. 96.006 is one row on New Jersey programs. $3,260,965,028 is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Supplemental Security Income in New Jersey for the filtered table, CFDA 96.006 for 96.006 without a New Jersey filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $3,260,965,028.

1,845 awards is not 1,845 people

$3,260,965,028 ÷ 1,845 is about $1.77 million 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 1,845 as a record count. Place-of-performance coding can attach a payment instrument to a New Jersey address without proving that every dollar stayed inside the state for the life of the award.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $3,260,965,028 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 1,845 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $3,260,965,028 without changing the join key of 96.006 and NJ.

Limits of the SSI–New Jersey pair

A 96.006 total tagged to New Jersey 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 $3,260,965,028 on 1,845 awards for Supplemental Security Income in New Jersey.

Keep both sides of the join: Supplemental Security Income and New Jersey, obligations only. Do not annualize $3,260,965,028 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 1,845 as a person or contractor census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a policy story.

It does not exist to argue that New Jersey won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 96.006 plus NJ. Obligations of $3,260,965,028 are not outlays.
