Social Security Survivors Insurance in Tennessee 1st District (TN-01)

A two-sided USAspending join: SSA survivors and TN-01

CFDA 96.004 and congressional district TN-01 meet here. $360,891,521 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 Tennessee 1st District (TN-01), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split widow from child survivor categories and does not publish a beneficiary denominator. 249 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a survivor census, a claims roster, or a named-beneficiary file.

Dividing $360,891,521 by 249 yields about $1,449,363.54 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical monthly benefit or a posted per-beneficiary figure. 249 awards is a thick survivors file. Volume pulls the implied mean down. Recipients remain unpublished. Tennessee 5th uses a different CFDA. Do not treat TN-01’s 96.004 cell as a synonym for every SSA survivors account nationwide. Open Tennessee 1st District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 96.004 for CFDA 96.004 without the TN-01 filter, Tennessee federal spending for every program in the Tennessee extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $360,891,521.

Social Security Survivors Insurance as a CFDA tag, not a vendor list

USAspending labels CFDA 96.004 as Social Security Survivors Insurance. That catalog number produced $360,891,521 when crossed with Tennessee 1st District (TN-01) place of performance. The program-wide 96.004 hub does not require TN-01 geography. The district hub does not require SSA survivors. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 249 awards. The packet does not split widow from child survivor categories and does not publish a beneficiary denominator.

Correlation is not causation: Tennessee 1st District (TN-01) did not “cause” $360,891,521 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 96.004 × TN-01 only. It is not a survivor census, a claims roster, or a named-beneficiary 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.

Geography for Tennessee 1st District (TN-01) on USAspending

Tennessee 1st District (TN-01) 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-01 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other Tennessee districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 96.004. Tennessee 1st District (TN-01) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside Tennessee. Other Tennessee districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 96.004. Tennessee 1st District (TN-01) is not Tennessee 5th, which hosts Diabetes, Digestive, and Kidney Diseases Extramural Research (CFDA 93.847) on this harvest.

Reading the obligation sum without converting it to cash

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $360,891,521 is that kind of sum for Social Security Survivors Insurance inside TN-01 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 $360,891,521 as given.

Tennessee’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 249-row SSA survivors cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 249 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 249 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 ($1,449,363.54) is a concentration statistic, not a typical monthly benefit or a posted per-beneficiary figure.

If Tennessee 1st District or CFDA 96.004 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a survivor census, a claims roster, or a named-beneficiary file. 3.7% of $9,746,450,666.98 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. Louisiana 3rd also hosts a thick CFDA 96.004 file. NIDDK research on Tennessee 5th is not this survivors catalog.

Using 3.7% and $1,449,363.54 without overclaiming

249 awards is a thick survivors file. Volume pulls the implied mean down. Recipients remain unpublished. Tennessee 5th uses a different CFDA. 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 $1,449,363.54) and the district share (3.7% of $9,746,450,666.98) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer Tennessee 1st District and CFDA 96.004 if the live tables moved.

Do not rank Tennessee 1st District (TN-01) as more SSA survivors-dependent than neighboring districts on the strength of this cell alone. Neighboring geographies have their own 96.004 ties with different dollar totals, or no published 96.004 cell in this harvest. This snapshot holds $360,891,521 and 249 only. All spending ties is the index, not an addend. Obligations are not outlays. Correlation is not causation.
