Veterans Compensation for Service-Connected Disability — CFDA 64.109

What CFDA 64.109’s $410.31 billion records

Assistance listing 64.109 is titled VETERANS COMPENSATION FOR SERVICE-CONNECTED DISABILITY in the USAspending.gov files this site indexes. The obligation total on that code is $410,307,752,180. An obligation is a recorded federal commitment on an award. It is not an outlay. Treating $410,307,752,180 as cash already paid to veterans mixes two series. SpendingVault keeps the label as obligations.

92,182 awards sit under that dollar figure. Dividing $410,307,752,180 by 92,182 produces a mean near $4.45 million per award record. That quotient is derived from the two packet totals. It is not a typical disability rating payment and not a monthly compensation amount. High-value assistance actions can pull the mean up; this packet does not include a median.

92,182 awards and 0 indexed recipients

The extract lists 92,182 awards and 0 recipients for CFDA 64.109. Award count is how many assistance-award rows carry this listing. Recipient count is how many organizational recipients the index stores. A recipient count of 0 is a file statistic. It is not a claim that no veteran was paid, and it is not a headcount of compensation beneficiaries.

Because the recipient field is empty in this roll-up, readers should not infer a unique-payee list from the $410,307,752,180 total. The 92,182-award tally still describes volume in the assistance files. Repeat actions can increment that tally without creating a recipient row. Cite both numbers together.

59 states on the compensation map

USAspending.gov place-of-performance coding for CFDA 64.109 reaches 59 states in this extract. That span is a count of coded jurisdictions, not a claim about every veteran’s residence, and not a forecast of future awards. The $410,307,752,180 obligation total is the dollar book behind that map. Later files can change both dollars and the 59-state count.

Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a complete picture of where veterans live. A national action coded to one jurisdiction can dominate a cell. Read the 64.109 program hub first, then any state split.

Obligations are not VA outlays

USAspending.gov publishes obligations on assistance awards. The $410,307,752,180 figure for CFDA 64.109 can include commitments that will disburse later. VA compensation statistical reports and a single fiscal year’s VA appropriation are different publications. This page does not convert the obligation total into those series.

Keep the 92,182-award count and the 0-recipient count in view so the dollar total is not mistaken for a beneficiary census or a cash-paid sum. Nothing on the hub is a rating decision or eligibility advice.

How to cite CFDA 64.109

Agency pages show awarding organizations; they do not replace this listing’s obligation total. Ranking on dollars alone hides the empty recipient field.

A worked reading of the 64.109 extract

Start from the four packet facts: $410,307,752,180, 92,182 awards, 0 recipients, and 59 states under CFDA 64.109. The mean near $4.45 million is a quotient, not a typical disability rating payment. If a later USAspending.gov file adds award rows faster than dollars, the mean falls; if a few giant assistance actions post, the mean rises without a matching jump in the 92,182 count. The empty recipient field does not become a veteran roster.

Nothing in the extract splits the $410,307,752,180 book by disability rating, period of service, or compensation versus ancillary benefits. Those cuts require VA publications. Treat CFDA 64.109 as an assistance-listing tag on USAspending.gov award files. Open the service-connected disability hub, then the all-programs index, for a same-series ranking. Cite 92,182 awards next to the dollars so volume is not inferred from the sum.

Readers comparing CFDA 64.109 across extracts should keep the 92,182-award count and the 59-state geography in the same sentence as $410,307,752,180. Dropping either volume fact turns the obligation total into a floating headline. SpendingVault’s program hub is the place to verify that the current file still carries those four packet facts, including the 0-recipient field.
