Social Security Survivors Insurance in Pennsylvania 16th District (PA-16)

The Pennsylvania 16th District (PA-16) filter on SSI Survivors

CFDA 96.004 and congressional district PA-16 meet here. $344,468,316 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Social Security Survivors Insurance’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Pennsylvania 16th District (PA-16), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split worker from child from spouse benefits and does not publish a beneficiary denominator. 161 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. This cell is not a beneficiary census, a claims roster, or a named-recipient file.

Dividing $344,468,316 by 161 yields about $2,139,554.76 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical monthly benefit or a posted per-beneficiary figure. 161 awards is a moderate survivors file. Matching dollar totals with other 96.004 districts in this harvest is coincidence of the catalog, not a shared SSA office. Do not treat PA-16’s 96.004 cell as a synonym for every SSI Survivors account nationwide. Open Pennsylvania 16th District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 96.004 for CFDA 96.004 without the PA-16 filter, Pennsylvania federal spending for every program in the Pennsylvania extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $344,468,316.

The Social Security Survivors Insurance catalog rollup

USAspending labels CFDA 96.004 as Social Security Survivors Insurance. That catalog number produced $344,468,316 when crossed with Pennsylvania 16th District (PA-16) place of performance. The program-wide 96.004 hub does not require PA-16 geography. The district hub does not require SSI Survivors. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 161 awards. The packet does not split worker from child from spouse benefits and does not publish a beneficiary denominator.

Correlation is not causation: Pennsylvania 16th District (PA-16) did not cause $344,468,316 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 96.004 × PA-16 only. This cell is not a beneficiary census, a claims roster, or a named-recipient 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 PA-16 stamp

Pennsylvania 16th District (PA-16) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list PA-16 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Pennsylvania districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 96.004. Pennsylvania 16th District (PA-16) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Pennsylvania. Other Pennsylvania districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 96.004.

Awards that carry a different CFDA stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Social Security Survivors Insurance. The district-wide obligation total published here is $7,170,434,544.96; $344,468,316 is the SSI Survivors slice of that denominator.

USAspending obligations on this pair

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $344,468,316 is that kind of sum for Social Security Survivors Insurance inside PA-16 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 CFDA rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $344,468,316 as given.

Pennsylvania’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 161-row SSI Survivors cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 161 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 161 is not a count of beneficiaries, claims, or SSA offices. 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 ($2,139,554.76) is a concentration statistic, not a typical monthly benefit or a posted per-beneficiary figure.

Row count versus dollar concentration

161 awards is a moderate survivors file. Matching dollar totals with other 96.004 districts in this harvest is coincidence of the catalog, not a shared SSA office. South Carolina 7th, Virginia 9th, and Mississippi 4th also use CFDA 96.004. Do not add those dollars into PA-16. Beneficiary names stay unpublished. A large row count makes a project 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 $2,139,554.76) and the district share (4.8% of $7,170,434,544.96) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Pennsylvania 16th District and CFDA 96.004 if the live tables moved.

Is $344,468,316 cash already paid in Pennsylvania 16th District (PA-16)?
