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

Arkansas x 64.110 is a DIC join, not a survivor census

This page pairs CFDA 64.110, VETERANS DEPENDENCY AND INDEMNITY COMPENSATION FOR SERVICE-CONNECTED DEATH, with Arkansas place of performance. DIC, in program language, pays eligible surviving spouses, children, and parents when a veteran’s death is service-connected. SpendingVault sums tagged obligations: $388,058,249 on 1,820 awards. The extract does not list survivors, claim types, or monthly rates. Treat the pair as a catalog intersection, not a ranking of which state has more service-connected deaths, and not a claim that 1,820 awards equal 1,820 families.

Other VA listings — disability compensation, state nursing-home care, or GI Bill education — sit outside $388,058,249 unless they also carry 64.110. Arkansas’s National Guard O&M join on 12.401 is a Defense overlay, not a VA subset. Mixing DIC with Guard operations would invent a combined state figure the packet never computed. Correlation between this obligation sum and veteran mortality is not causation. Mortality figures are not in the packet. Place of performance as Arkansas locates the tagged awards; it does not deposit $388,058,249 in the state treasury.

1,820 awards behind $388.1 million

Award count is a row count of assistance awards, including possible annual runs and beneficiary-level lines. It is not a census of survivors, counties, or claims. Mean obligation is about $213,218.82 if $388,058,249 were divided evenly across 1,820 lines — a mechanical ratio, not a published DIC rate, and not a typical monthly payment. The packet has no spouse versus child split inside DIC.

One thousand eight hundred twenty lines are too many to narrate one by one. Sort the Arkansas 64.110 overlay by amount to see concentration. This page will not invent beneficiary names. Open Veterans Dependency And Indemnity Compensation For Service-Connected Death in Arkansas for the stored table. Do not convert 1,820 into a map of Arkansas survivor households. The $388,058,249 total remains an obligation rollup on tagged awards. Inspect named lines rather than inferring a caseload.

Questions

How much VA DIC funding is obligated in Arkansas?

USAspending.gov shows $388,058,249 in obligations for CFDA 64.110 with Arkansas as place of performance, across 1,820 awards. The sum is a commitment total on assistance awards, not outlays and not Arkansas’s full veterans budget. Other VA listings are outside this join unless they also carry 64.110.

Do 1,820 awards mean 1,820 Arkansas survivor families?

No. Award count is a row count of assistance awards and can include annual runs and beneficiary-level lines. It is not a survivor census. The packet does not name beneficiaries. See the Arkansas 64.110 overlay for named lines as USAspending stored them.

Is this Arkansas’s entire VA compensation funding?

No. The join is CFDA 64.110, Dependency and Indemnity Compensation for Service-Connected Death, crossed with Arkansas place of performance. Disability compensation and other VA codes use different listings. Those dollars are not inside $388,058,249 unless the award also carries 64.110. The extract has no caseload table.

Is $388 million already paid to Arkansas survivors?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $388,058,249 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault’s extract. Monthly draws and remaining balances are not published in this packet.
