Social Security Retirement Insurance (CFDA 96.002) and Tennessee 3rd District (TN-03) meet at $3,365,562,463 in USAspending.gov obligations across 372 awards. Three hundred seventy-two awards sit on a three-point-four-billion-dollar cell — thicker than TN-01's 288-row 96.002 file, yet a small share of TN-03's very large district-wide book. The pair is Social Security Retirement Insurance and Tennessee 3rd District (TN-03) — not Tennessee's entire federal inflow, not 96.002 nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 3.5% of this district's published obligation total ($96,715,183,991.96). Implied average obligation is about $9,047,210.92 ($3,365,562,463 ÷ 372). Correlation is not causation.

CFDA 96.002 inside Tennessee 3rd District (TN-03), 372 awards
CFDA 96.002 and congressional district TN-03 meet here. $3,365,562,463 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Social Security Retirement Insurance's nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Tennessee 3rd District (TN-03), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split retired-worker from spouse or survivor benefits and does not publish a beneficiary denominator. 372 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a beneficiary census, a field-office roster, or a named-payee file.
This page reports SSA Retirement awards USAspending tagged to this district as place of performance. The headline $3,365,562,463 sits beside a district-wide obligation total of $96,715,183,991.96; the 3.5% share is arithmetic on those two packet facts, not a ranking of Tennessee districts as winners or losers. No fiscal year is published in this packet, so this page does not invent one. Obligations are not outlays. Tennessee 1st District hosts its own 96.002 cell in this slice. Those dollars stay on the TN-01 tie. The TN-03 district-wide total is a parent denominator, not a second SSA figure.
A thicker Tennessee retirement-insurance file than TN-01
CFDA 96.002 is Social Security Retirement Insurance. The program tag does not name field offices or payees. This packet lists none of them. That catalog produced $3,365,562,463 when crossed with Tennessee 3rd District (TN-03) place of performance. The program-wide 96.002 hub does not require TN-03 geography. The district hub does not require SSA Retirement. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 372 awards. The packet does not split retired-worker from spouse or survivor benefits and does not publish a beneficiary denominator.
Correlation is not causation: Tennessee 3rd District (TN-03) did not cause $3,365,562,463 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 96.002 × TN-03 only. This cell is not a beneficiary census, a field-office roster, 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. Three hundred seventy-two records against this dollar book is the thicker of the two Tennessee 96.002 files in this slice. The implied mean is lower than TN-01's; that ratio is arithmetic, not a benefit-level ranking.
Tennessee 3rd District as 96.002 place of performance
Tennessee 3rd District (TN-03) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Tennessee. Awards tagged to TN-01 belong on that tie even when the CFDA is also 96.002. Tennessee 3rd District (TN-03) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list TN-03 while later work occurs elsewhere. Tennessee federal spending (/states/tn/) shows how CFDA 96.002 sits beside other program codes in the same state extract. $3,365,562,463 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split Tennessee 3rd District (TN-03) by county, city, or census tract.
The district-wide obligation total published here is $96,715,183,991.96; $3,365,562,463 is the SSA Retirement slice of that denominator. Open Tennessee 3rd District (/districts/TN-03/) for the stored district table and CFDA 96.002 (/programs/96.002/) for the national program shelf. Field-office names are unpublished. Three hundred seventy-two awards are not three hundred seventy-two east-Tennessee retirees.
TN-03 SSA obligations are not Treasury outlays
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $3,365,562,463 is that kind of sum for Social Security Retirement Insurance inside TN-03 coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Treating $3,365,562,463 as monthly benefits already issued confuses those terms. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $3,365,562,463 as given.
Tennessee's own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 372-row SSA Retirement cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 372 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 372 is not a census of beneficiaries, field offices, or named payees. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($9,047,210.92) is a concentration statistic, not a typical TN-03 SSA Retirement payment.

Confusing this join with a statewide SSA Retirement total or the TN-01 96.002 overlay would be a different overlay. Sharing a district with SSA Retirement does not mean campaign donations funded these awards, and it does not convert obligations into outlays. 3.5% of $96,715,183,991.96 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. This page reports one USAspending join.
