Department of Veterans Affairs in Louisiana

What the VA–Louisiana join is

Awarding agency 036 and place-of-performance state LA meet here. $8,259,971,752.58 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Department of Veterans Affairs’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to Louisiana, and not an outlay register. Health care, benefits, and construction can share 036. A high row count against $8.26 billion yields a smaller mean than thin VA books; that is not a quality ranking.

23,193 is a high row count for this dollar scale, so the mean is smaller than thin Energy-style books. Modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. Dividing $8,259,971,752.58 by 23,193 yields about $356,141 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line.

Open Department of Veterans Affairs in Louisiana for the live filtered table, Louisiana federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Veterans Affairs for agency 036 without a Louisiana filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,259,971,752.58.

Awarding agency 036 as the VA side

USAspending labels awarding agency 036 as Department of Veterans Affairs. That code produced $8,259,971,752.58 when crossed with Louisiana place of performance. The agency-wide 036 hub does not require LA geography. The Louisiana hub does not require VA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 23,193 awards.

A veteran census, a storm-recovery score, and a medical-versus-benefits split are unpublished. 23,193 awards is an action count, not a patient roster. A second VA slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Louisiana’s 036 cell as a synonym for every VA account.

Questions

How much VA spending is coded to Louisiana?

USAspending.gov lists $8,259,971,752.58 in Department of Veterans Affairs obligations across 23,193 Louisiana-coded awards.

Is $8,259,971,752.58 cash already paid in Louisiana?

No. Obligations are commitments recorded on USAspending.gov awards. Outlays — money that actually left the Treasury — are a different concept and are not this packet’s headline.
