Supplemental Security Income obligations in Tennessee

What the 96.006–Tennessee join is

CFDA 96.006 is titled SUPPLEMENTAL SECURITY INCOME. Crossed with Tennessee place of performance, obligations sum to $3,447,450,656 on 5,714 awards. The national SSI hub includes other states. Tennessee’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $3,447,450,656 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a count of SSI recipients in Nashville, Memphis, or Knoxville.

5,714 awards is a denser SSI book than Massachusetts’s 96.006 cell at a similar dollar scale, which means a lower mean per record. That is a reporting pattern, not a ranking of states. The join does not name SSA field offices, list beneficiaries, or count eligible people. Packet facts stop at $3,447,450,656, 5,714 awards, TN, and 96.006.

96.006 is not survivors insurance or SSDI

Social Security Survivors Insurance (CFDA 96.004) and disability insurance are different SSA catalogs. Mixing those dollars into $3,447,450,656 would invent a broader income-security total than this cell contains. Tennessee also has a 96.004 survivors cell on a separate page; that total is not an addend here. Facts available: Tennessee, CFDA 96.006, $3,447,450,656, 5,714 awards. Benefit formulas and caseload counts are not in the facts.

The catalog title names Supplemental Security Income, not a ranking of county poverty. Dividing $3,447,450,656 by 5,714 yields about $603,334 per award—a record-level ratio, not a typical monthly SSI check. Unique recipients are unpublished. 5,714 is not a count of households.

Tennessee geography on the SSI tag

TN is the place-of-performance code. An SSI award can still appear as records tagged to Nashville, Memphis, or another in-state address. Awards coded to Kentucky, Alabama, or Mississippi stay outside $3,447,450,656 even when a beneficiary lives in a cross-border metro. The code does not convert $3.45 billion into a county map.

Tennessee federal spending is the all-program parent. 96.006 is one row on Tennessee programs. $3.45 billion is not the state’s complete federal footprint. Open Supplemental Security Income in Tennessee for the filtered table, CFDA 96.006 for 96.006 without a Tennessee filter, and All spending ties for other pairs. Do not add those parents into $3,447,450,656.

Reading 5,714 awards under $3.45 billion

$3,447,450,656 ÷ 5,714 is about $603,334 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 5,714 as a record count, not as 5,714 finished cases.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $3,447,450,656 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 5,714 rows are continuations, corrections, or payment batches. Later ingests can restate $3,447,450,656 without changing the join key of 96.006 and TN.

What the SSI–Tennessee pair does not prove

A large 96.006 total tagged to Tennessee does not measure whether 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 $3,447,450,656 on 5,714 awards for Supplemental Security Income in Tennessee.

Keep both sides of the join: Supplemental Security Income and Tennessee, obligations only. Do not annualize $3,447,450,656 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 5,714 as a beneficiary census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a hardship story.

Using the 96.006–Tennessee overlay

The overlay target is the Tennessee × CFDA 96.006 table. Open Supplemental Security Income in Tennessee when you want the same $3,447,450,656 / 5,714-award cell in the site’s data chrome. CFDA 96.006 drops the Tennessee filter. Tennessee federal spending drops the CFDA filter. Tennessee programs lists other catalogs beside SSI. 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 Tennessee won or lost federal money, that donations paid for the awards, or that obligations equal cash. The pair is 96.006 plus TN. Obligations of $3,447,450,656 are not outlays.
