The Department of Veterans Affairs shows $50,854,657,968.64 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Florida, across 41,582 awards. Awarding-agency 036 and Florida (FL) are the pair. Retirement-destination folklore is not a packet fact: this page will not treat $50,854,657,968.64 as proof that Florida “has more veterans.” The dollars are obligations, not outlays.

Key figures

  • VA in Florida: $50,854,657,968.64 across 41,582 USAspending awards.
  • Implied mean about $1.23 million per record, not spending per veteran.
  • Retirement-destination stories are not packet facts.
  • Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.

VA’s Florida-coded award file

Department of Veterans Affairs as awarding agency, Florida as place-of-performance. Forty-one thousand five hundred eighty-two records sum to $50,854,657,968.64. A VA award in Georgia is outside this cell. A Homeland Security award in Florida is outside agency 036.

The implied mean is about $1.23 million per award. Medical-center, construction, and supply actions can share the count. This packet does not publish a clinic roster.

Department of Veterans Affairs in Florida is the overlay. Florida federal spending is the all-agency state hub. All spending ties lists other intersections. Forty-one thousand five hundred eighty-two VA actions in Florida look large until you remember USDA’s Texas file in this slice has more than 400,000 rows. $50,854,657,968.64 is still the obligation sum for agency 036 inside FL coding. Department of Veterans Affairs in Florida does not rank Florida against other VA-state cells in this packet.

Snowbird stories are not a join field

Seasonal residency and retiree in-migration are not USAspending columns. $50,854,657,968.64 does not measure how many veterans live in Florida. 41,582 awards are actions, not people.

Wait times and community-care usage are unpublished. The dollar total does not grade Florida VA healthcare. Treating a large cell as a quality or access score is a category error. Florida did not cause the obligation sum by being a destination state. Agency 036 plus an FL tag is the entire claim. Correlation is not causation. Seasonal residency is not a USAspending column. Treating $50,854,657,968.64 as proof of a retiree wave is causation language. Florida federal spending still includes Defense, DHS, USDA, Education, and DOT cells that are not 036.
