Social Security Administration in South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00)

The South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) filter on SSA

Awarding agency 028 and congressional district SD-00 meet here. $4,256,253,973.75 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Social Security Administration's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split retirement from disability or SSI inside agency 028. 3,176 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a beneficiary roster, a field-office census, or a named-payee file.

Dividing $4,256,253,973.75 by 3,176 yields about $1,340,130.34 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line. 3,176 awards is a thick SSA file. Action records multiply; unique beneficiaries are unpublished. Implied mean is pulled down by volume. Do not treat SD-00's 028 cell as a synonym for every SSA account nationwide. Open South Dakota At-Large District for the district table without this agency filter, Social Security Administration for agency 028 without a SD-00 filter, South Dakota federal spending for every awarding agency in the South Dakota extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $4,256,253,973.75.

The Social Security Administration awarding-agency rollup

USAspending labels awarding agency 028 as Social Security Administration. That code produced $4,256,253,973.75 when crossed with South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) place of performance. The agency-wide 028 hub does not require SD-00 geography. The district hub does not require SSA. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 3,176 awards. The packet does not split retirement from disability or SSI inside agency 028.

Correlation is not causation: South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) did not cause $4,256,253,973.75 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 028 × SD-00 only. This cell is not a beneficiary roster, a field-office census, or a named-payee file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.

Reading the SD-00 stamp

South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list SD-00 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other South Dakota districts belong on those ties even when the awarding agency is also 028. South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside South Dakota. Other South Dakota districts are separate joins even when they reuse awarding-agency 028. South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) is the state's single congressional stamp. HHS × SD-00 on this slice uses agency 075, not 028.

South Dakota federal spending shows how agency 028 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same state extract. $4,256,253,973.75 is one district-agency column, not the state table. This packet does not split South Dakota At-Large District (SD-00) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different awarding-agency code stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Social Security Administration. The district-wide obligation total published here is $20,304,783,123.44; $4,256,253,973.75 is the SSA slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $4,256,253,973.75 is that kind of sum for Social Security Administration inside SD-00 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $4,256,253,973.75 as given. Monthly benefits already on debit cards would be an outlay story this packet does not tell.

Row count versus dollar concentration

3,176 awards is a thick SSA file. Action records multiply; unique beneficiaries are unpublished. Implied mean is pulled down by volume. HHS in SD-00 is a sibling join. Keep Social Security Administration and Department of Health and Human Services on separate citations even though both use VT-style at-large coding in South Dakota. A large row count makes a program split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $1,340,130.34) and the district share (21.0% of $20,304,783,123.44) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer South Dakota At-Large District and Social Security Administration if the live tables moved.
