All-Volunteer Force Educational Assistance — CFDA 64.124

Educational-assistance obligations at $435.0M

USAspending.gov records $434,954,543 in obligations under CFDA 64.124. Those 38,039 awards produce that stock. A simple average is about $11,434 per award. That average is a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical award and not a unit cost for veterans enrolled, credit hours completed, or tuition bills paid. Other Department of Veterans Affairs education listings under different CFDA numbers are not mixed into the $434,954,543.

The assistance-listing title is ALL-VOLUNTEER FORCE EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE. CFDA 64.124 is the identifier. Read the $435.0M headline — $434,954,543 in the award file — as the obligation book tagged 64.124 only. USAspending.gov assistance awards are the source. This page does not convert obligations into outlays or into a count of veterans enrolled, credit hours completed, or tuition bills paid.

38,039 awards and a 0-recipient headcount

Zero organizational recipients share 38,039 awards on this extract. That is not a missing-dollar result. Assistance under All-Volunteer Force Educational Assistance is often stored as payment-level rows without an organizational recipient identifier that rolls up in the USAspending recipient count used here. The packet does not name payees. Do not treat 0 recipients as 0 spending. The obligation stock remains $434,954,543.

Geographic coding covers 56 jurisdictions. Fifty-six jurisdictions cover states plus extra coded entities. Education-assistance dollars follow benefit records, not equal shares of the veteran population. Award count (38,039) is a record count, not a census of veterans enrolled, credit hours completed, or tuition bills paid. Recipient dollars, where shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts. A simple average is about $11,434 per award — a quotient of two packet totals, not a typical payment.

Award rows are not a veteran census

Among assistance listings, 64.124 is an extreme benefit-row file: tens of thousands of assistance rows with no organizational recipient rollup on this extract. Award count is a weak proxy for “number of projects” and a worse proxy for veterans enrolled, credit hours completed, or tuition bills paid. The recipient field (0 organizational recipients on this extract) tells you how many named organizations sit on the extract; awards (38,039) tell you how many assistance rows were stored.

The packet does not report veterans enrolled, credit hours completed, or tuition bills paid. Citing 38,039 as that unit would be a unit error. Keep the units straight: dollars, awards, recipients, jurisdictions. The $434,954,543 stock is the obligation figure from USAspending.gov. Empty recipient cells are not a zero-dollar result on this benefit-row file.

Obligations versus education-benefit outlays

The $434,954,543 is an obligation total from USAspending.gov. Outlays — cash paid against All-Volunteer Force Educational Assistance awards — are not in the packet. A file can show a large obligation stock while draws, reimbursements, or closeouts follow a different schedule. Deobligations and upward adjustments both move the total. Treasury outlays are a separate series.

Use CFDA 64.124 to size this listing in the assistance file. Do not use it as a dashboard of veterans enrolled, credit hours completed, or tuition bills paid. Those series live elsewhere. This page reports the obligation book tagged 64.124. The $435.0M figure is the compact form of $434,954,543.

What the 64.124 tables omit

Geographic coding covers 56 jurisdictions. Fifty-six jurisdictions cover states plus extra coded entities. Education-assistance dollars follow benefit records, not equal shares of the veteran population. It is not a GI Bill enrollment dashboard, not a school directory, and not a count of unique veterans. Series that never appear as assistance awards will not show up in the $434,954,543.

Place-of-performance on 56 jurisdictions is a coding field. Read the program page before treating those cells as equal shares of All-Volunteer Force Educational Assistance funding. Recipient dollars, if shown on the hub, are still obligation amounts, not cash already paid.
