Life Insurance for Veterans — Direct Payments — CFDA 64.031

Veterans life-insurance obligations at $1.40 billion

USAspending.gov records $1,398,970,693 in obligations under CFDA 64.031. One hundred two thousand four hundred seventy-three awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $13,652 per award — small compared with formula grants and consistent with insurance-payment rows rather than project awards. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical policy face amount and not a premium.

The assistance-listing title is LIFE INSURANCE FOR VETERANS - DIRECT PAYMENTS FOR INSURANCE. CFDA 64.031 is the identifier. Other VA insurance or compensation listings tagged under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $1.40 billion. Combining those codes would invent a combined veterans-benefit total this packet does not contain.

102,473 award rows and a zero recipient count

The extract lists 102,473 awards and 0 recipients. Recipient count is the organizational headcount on the federal assistance file; a zero here means named organizational recipients were not populated on this listing, not that nobody was paid. Do not divide dollars by recipient count. Award count remains the usable row total: 102,473 assistance records.

Fifty-seven jurisdictions in the geographic count cover states plus territories and other coded entities in the USAspending state field. Insurance-payment dollars still follow covered lives, not equal shares. Place-of-performance amounts are on the program table.

Payment rows are not a policy census

Among VA listings, 64.031 is an extreme-volume file: 102,473 rows against a blank organizational recipient field. Payment-level rows can inflate award count far beyond unique policies. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of veterans insured” and a worse proxy for claims paid. Awards (102,473) tell you how many assistance rows were stored; recipients (0) tell you the organizational headcount was not filled on this extract.

The packet does not report policies in force, face amounts, or beneficiary counts. Citing 102,473 as veterans or policies would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, jurisdictions — and a recipient field that is empty.

Obligations versus insurance outlays

The $1,398,970,693 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against veterans life-insurance awards — are not in the packet. A payment file can show a large obligation stock while claim or premium transactions follow a later calendar. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. A remaining-balance question is an outlay question this extract does not answer.

Use CFDA 64.031 to size this direct-payment insurance listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a policy-in-force dashboard. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 64.031.

What the 64.031 tables omit

The program hub lists award-backed obligations from USAspending.gov. It is not a policy ledger, not a beneficiary directory, and not an actuarial table. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $1,398,970,693. That omission is definitional rather than a gap in the 102,473 award rows.

Place-of-performance on 57 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares. The empty recipient count is a file attribute, not evidence that payments did not occur.

A researcher comparing 64.031 with other VA compensation or insurance codes should keep CFDA numbers separate. About $13,652 per award describes row size, not a policy face amount.
