Readiness-and-employment obligations at $2.94 billion
USAspending.gov records $2,943,226,023 in obligations under CFDA 64.116. Sixty-nine thousand three hundred eighty-seven awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $42,400 per award. Benefit listings often store many recurring or adjusted payment actions; the average is a ratio across those rows, not a typical training stipend or a typical case-management cost.
The assistance-listing title is VETERAN READINESS AND EMPLOYMENT. CFDA 64.116 is the identifier. Pension, CHAMPVA, and education listings are separate CFDA numbers and are not mixed into the $2.94 billion.
An empty recipient dimension
The extract lists 0 recipients. The 69,387 awards and $2.94 billion remain. Veteran Readiness and Employment support is typically paid toward individual veterans’ training and employment plans; those individuals do not appear as organizational recipients in this aggregate. Building a “top vendors” chart from 64.116 is not possible from the recipient count in the packet.
The facts that do exist — award volume, dollars, 56-state geographic count — still let a reader size the listing against other assistance CFDAs. They do not identify veterans by name, and this page does not attempt that.
Sixty-nine thousand award rows
CFDA 64.116 is a high-volume file: 69,387 awards against $2,943,226,023. That density is typical of benefit-payment extracts, where each action or adjustment can land as its own assistance row. Award count is therefore a weak proxy for “number of veterans in readiness and employment.” The 69,387 figure is a stored-row count, not a caseload census.
A simple average of about $42,400 per award mixes new awards, recertifications, and modifications. It is not a typical annual training budget. The packet does not report completion rates, job placements, or waiting times.
Fifty-six states in the source field
Awards are coded to 56 states in the USAspending geographic count. That is a wide coding, consistent with a national veterans program, and can include territories and the District of Columbia as the source stored them. The packet does not publish a state-by-state dollar table in these four facts; the program page is the place to inspect geographic breakouts.
Place-of-performance on readiness-and-employment awards may follow the veteran’s residence, a training site, or a default location. Without recipient rows, treat the 56-state count as a coverage flag, not as a ranking of regional offices.
Obligations are not wages paid
The $2.94 billion is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays are payments. A readiness-and-employment award can be obligated while training continues, or a plan change can trigger a modification that moves the stock. This page does not estimate cash paid to date.
Use CFDA 64.116 to answer how large this Veteran Readiness and Employment listing is in the assistance file. Do not use it to infer eligibility, completion rates, or adequacy of services. Those questions are outside the four facts.
