Veterans Dependency and Indemnity Compensation for Service-Connected Death in Alabama

Alabama x DIC without a casualty league table

This page joins CFDA 64.110 with Alabama place of performance at $661,391,712 on 1,673 awards. Dependency and Indemnity Compensation is paid to eligible survivors when a veteran's death is service-connected, as VA administers the benefit. USAspending records the tagged obligations. It does not count deaths, does not name veterans, and does not invite a comparison of which state lost more. Sibling 64.110 joins in Tennessee, South Carolina, and Oklahoma are separate obligation totals, not a safer or worse table.

Place of performance as Alabama locates the awards as coded. Beneficiary residence, a regional office, and place of death can diverge. The packet does not identify which field produced the state code. Other VA CFDA numbers for disability compensation, education, or medical care are outside $661,391,712 unless they also carry 64.110. Correlation with Alabama's veteran population is not causation; that population is not in the facts. The extract reports $661,391,712 on 1,673 awards for the tagged pair only.

1,673 assistance rows on a compensation listing

Award count is a row count. Recertifications or multiple instruments can add rows without adding unique households. Mean obligation is about $395,333 if $661,391,712 were divided evenly across 1,673 lines — arithmetic, not a typical DIC payment, and not an annual rate. This page will not present that average as a household statistic.

The overlay may show aggregated payment vehicles rather than named individuals. Do not treat 1,673 as a published count of Alabama DIC families. Open Veterans Dependency and Indemnity Compensation for Service-Connected Death in Alabama for the stored table. Personally identifiable details are not in these packet facts. The $661,391,712 total remains a catalog join.

Questions

How much VA DIC funding is obligated in Alabama?

USAspending.gov shows $661,391,712 in obligations for CFDA 64.110 with Alabama as place of performance, across 1,673 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not VA's full state budget. Other VA listings are outside this join unless they also carry 64.110.

Does 1,673 awards mean 1,673 DIC survivors in Alabama?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include recertifications or multiple instruments. It is not a survivor census or a death count. The packet does not name beneficiaries. See the Alabama 64.110 overlay for how rows are stored.

Can Alabama's DIC total be ranked against Tennessee's?

Each 64.110 state join is its own obligation rollup. Different place-of-performance coding means the dollars are not a ranking of which state lost more veterans. This page reports $661,391,712 and 1,673 awards for Alabama only, as commitments on assistance awards, not outlays.

Are the $661 million already paid to survivors?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $661,391,712 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Payment dates and remaining entitlement are not published in this packet.
