Jobs for Veterans State Grants — CFDA 17.801

JVSG dollars on 294 award records

Assistance listing 17.801 is titled JOBS FOR VETERANS STATE GRANTS in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $942,049,280.92. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $942.0M as wages already paid to veterans mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

294 awards sit under that dollar book. Dividing $942,049,280.92 by 294 produces a mean near $3.20 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical DVOP/LVER staffing budget and not a cost per placement. Jobs for Veterans dollars often sit on state-agency assistance actions, which is why 294 records can carry $942.0M.

57 recipients across 54 states

CFDA 17.801 lists 57 recipients and 54 states against 294 awards. Recipient count is not unique veterans. It is how many organizational recipients the assistance extract stores for this listing. A state workforce agency can appear on multiple awards; 57 is close to the 54-state span, a pattern consistent with one primary grantee per coded jurisdiction plus extras. The 54-state span is a coded-jurisdiction count, not a map of every AJC.

294 awards against 57 recipients averages about 5.2 award records per recipient. Extra modifications can lift the 294 tally without moving $942,049,280.92 much. The JVSG hub keeps dollars, awards, recipients, and states visible so one statistic is not inferred from another.

Obligations versus veterans-employment outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $942,049,280.92 figure for CFDA 17.801 can include commitments that will disburse later. A veteran-placement report, a Disabled Veterans’ Outreach Program staffing table, and a Treasury outlay series are different publications. This page does not translate the obligation total into those series.

If a number you expected is missing, the usual cause is a different reporting concept. Start from the obligation definition, then open the 17.801 program page. Do not stretch 294 awards or 57 recipients to cover every employment dollar that touches veterans.

What the 17.801 tables omit

The Jobs for Veterans State Grants hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a veteran roster, not a job-order file, and not a UI claims extract. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $942,049,280.92. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 294 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 54 states is a coding field. A statewide grantee coded to one cell can dominate geography while counselors work in many counties. Read the program page before any state split.

A worked reading of the 17.801 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $942,049,280.92, 294 awards, 57 recipients, and 54 states under CFDA 17.801. The mean near $3.20 million is a quotient from a modest award count, not a typical local office budget. If a later USAspending.gov file adds large state actions, dollars can jump while 57 recipients barely move. If modifications proliferate, 294 can rise while the dollar book stays close to $942.0M.

Nothing in the extract splits DVOP from LVER, or staffing from other JVSG activities. Those cuts live outside this packet. Treat CFDA 17.801 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the program page, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 294 awards and 57 recipients next to the dollars so the state-agency pattern is visible.
