Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance — CFDA 64.028

Educational-assistance obligations at $25.7 billion

USAspending.gov records $25,676,072,754 in obligations under CFDA 64.028. Eighty-seven thousand two hundred fifty-five awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $294,000 per award. Education-benefit files often post many mid-size rows — tuition and housing assistance actions — rather than a few state block grants. The average is a ratio, not a typical semester bill.

The assistance-listing title is POST-9/11 VETERANS EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE. CFDA 64.028 is the join key. Other veterans education or compensation listings are separate CFDA numbers and are not included in the $25.7 billion.

Zero recipients in the organizational table

The extract lists 0 recipients. That does not void the 87,255 awards or the $25.7 billion. It means this USAspending assistance aggregate does not attach a distinct organizational recipient roster to 64.028 the way a university-grant CFDA does. Payments may be coded to individuals, schools, or rolled-up identifiers that do not survive into the recipient-dimension table used here.

Anyone building a “top colleges paid” chart from this CFDA will find an empty recipient list in this extract. The usable facts are then award volume, dollars, and the 59-state geographic count. A reconstructed student roster is not in the packet.

Fifty-nine states in the geographic field

Awards under 64.028 are coded to 59 states in the USAspending geographic count. That is a wide coding for an education-benefit listing, consistent with students and schools across many jurisdictions. The packet does not name the 59 labels or the dollars in each. State here follows the source field, which can include territories and the District of Columbia.

Place-of-performance on education benefits can follow the school, the beneficiary, or a default location. Without recipient rows, state counts should not be turned into a ranking of campuses.

Obligations versus tuition paid

The $25.7 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid to schools or beneficiaries — are not in the packet. An education award can be obligated for a term while disbursements post later, or a deobligation can hit after a withdrawal. This page does not estimate how much of the stock has been drawn.

Use CFDA 64.028 to size Post-9/11 veterans educational assistance in the assistance file. Do not use it as a completion-rate or tuition-inflation series. Those measures are not in the four facts.

Where to open CFDA 64.028

The Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance program page overlays these aggregates. The all-programs index ranks 64.028 among other assistance listings. Agency pages show awarding-agency totals that may include this CFDA among other veterans listings. For 64.028 only, use the program page.

CFDA 64.028’s 87,255 awards and 0 recipients are the pair to remember with the $25,676,072,754 obligation stock. A reader looking for a college-by-college table will not find it in this aggregate’s recipient dimension. Fifty-nine states in the geographic count remain a coverage flag. About $294,000 per award on a simple average is not a typical tuition charge.

Student headcount, completion rates, and cash disbursed to schools are outside the four facts. Other veterans education listings, if tagged under different CFDA numbers, are outside the $25.7 billion. The program page overlays 64.028. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.

Education-benefit rows without a vendor roster

Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance, CFDA 64.028, shows $25,676,072,754 in obligations, 87,255 awards, 0 recipients, and 59 states on USAspending.gov. The empty recipient dimension is the same data feature seen on other compensation- and benefit-style listings in this extract: a large award file without the organizational roster that grant CFDAs display. Eighty-seven thousand two hundred fifty-five is a count of assistance records, not a student census.

About $294,000 per award on a simple average mixes many educational-assistance actions. It is not a typical semester bill. Fifty-nine in the geographic count is a wide USAspending state field, consistent with students and schools across many jurisdictions, and can include territories and the District of Columbia as coded. Without recipient rows, that count is a coverage flag, not a campus ranking.

Other veterans listings in the CFDA file are separate rows and are not included in the $25.7 billion. Outlays to schools or beneficiaries are not in the packet. The program page overlays 64.028; the programs index ranks it; agency pages roll up awarding agencies. Source: USAspending.gov assistance awards.
