New York Life Insurance Company contributions received by NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE
$6,066,688 in itemized individual contributions is the join between the NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY employer grouping and NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00158881). That cell covers 50,024 contributions from FEC.gov individual filings. The employer grouping totals $6,971,675; this connected PAC is about 87% of that insurer string, not New York Life’s premium revenue and not every agent who listed a general-agency name instead of the company.
Key figures
- NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE received $6,066,688 from matching employer-coded individual gifts across 50,024 contributions.
- The NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY grouping totals $6,971,675, so this PAC is about 87% of that labeled money.
- About $121 per contribution is the mean of 50,024 itemized lines, not an agent headcount.
- The join does not link PAC receipts to USAspending awards or to independent expenditures.
Insurer legal name meeting the company PAC
NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY is the grouped employer key as the full legal phrase. NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE is committee C00158881. This page reports itemized individual gifts that carried both labels. The $6,066,688 figure is the intersection. Connected-PAC name overlap is expected. The join still exists so the $6,971,675 industry hub is not treated as identical to the PAC hub.
Filers who typed NY LIFE, NEW YORK LIFE, NYLIC, or a managing-partner agency name may sit in other keys if stored separately. Mutual-insurer agents often type a local shop. This page stays on the full INSURANCE COMPANY string as indexed.
Fifty thousand twenty-four contributions is a high-volume PAC file. Line count is not a census of career agents.
Eighty-seven percent of the New York Life Insurance Company grouping
The NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY grouping shows $6,971,675 in itemized individual money. The company PAC cell is $6,066,688, or about 87% of that total. About 13% of the labeled money went to other committees. Those leftover dollars are on the industry hub.
An 87% share is concentrated connected-PAC overlap. Concentration does not prove the mutual company directed every gift. Candidate committees still received a slice of the employer string.
50,024 contributions and a $121 mean
NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE received $6,066,688 from NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY-coded receipts across 50,024 contributions. Dividing dollars by gifts gives about $121 per contribution. High line counts and modest means are common when payroll- or commission-style PAC deductions are itemized over many cycles.
Repeat givers raise the contribution count. The packet does not publish a unique-donor figure. The committee overlay for C00158881 also includes receipts whose employer field did not group to this full legal name.
Life-insurer labels and federal program dollars
Insurers appear in state insurance filings and, separately, in any federal contracting they might have. Those records are not these PAC gifts. This join does not claim that the company PAC funded USAspending awards, or that awards funded PAC contributions. A life-insurer name shared across ledgers is a label, not a pipeline.
The employer field can lag a retirement or an independent-agent relationship. Correlation between an insurer employer string and a connected PAC is a reporting pattern, not causation of insurance-policy outcomes.
Pages that keep the legal name and the PAC from merging
The New York Life Insurance Company industry page keeps the $6,971,675 grouping and the other committees that received the remaining 13%. The PAC page keeps C00158881. All industries ranks NY LIFE and other insurer keys separately if present. All FEC ties lists neighboring cells so this connected-PAC join is not mistaken for independent expenditures.
The leftover 13% of $6,971,675 is NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY-coded money that did not go to the company PAC. NY LIFE and NYLIC, if stored, are not in the 87% share. About $121 per contribution is $6,066,688 divided by 50,024. Fifty thousand lines are not 50,000 career agents; repeats raise the count. Mutual-insurer agency names are other keys if stored separately.
Full legal name versus short NY Life keys
The accurate citation uses the full employer phrase: $6,066,688 of $6,971,675 grouped to NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY and received by NEW YORK LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY POLITICAL ACTION COMMITTEE (C00158881) across 50,024 itemized contributions, about 87%. Shortening both sides to NY Life hides whether a researcher used this key or a shorter one.
Unitemized gifts are omitted. Independent expenditures are omitted. State insurance filings and USAspending are omitted. Repeat givers raise 50,024 above any unique-person figure the packet does not publish. General-agency shop names, if indexed, stay on the industry index. Quote C00158881 and the full INSURANCE COMPANY string together so the connected PAC is not mistaken for a state-local agent PAC.
