Department of Veterans Affairs in New Jersey

What the VA–New Jersey join is

Awarding agency 036 and place-of-performance state NJ meet here. $11,960,790,828.89 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 New Jersey, and not an outlay register. Veterans medical care, benefits, construction, and related instruments can all sit under awarding agency 036. The packet does not split VBA, VHA, or NCA. 12,556 is a substantial action file: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished.

Dividing $11,960,790,828.89 by 12,556 yields about $952,596 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical contract, grant, or benefit line, and it is not a VA hospital census, not a veteran headcount, and not a claims-backlog score. A second VA slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat New Jersey’s 036 cell as a synonym for every VA account.

Open Department of Veterans Affairs in New Jersey for the live filtered table, New Jersey federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Veterans Affairs for agency 036 without a New Jersey filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $11,960,790,828.89.
