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

Oklahoma x DIC without a casualty league table

This page joins CFDA 64.110 with Oklahoma place of performance at $598,957,952 on 1,880 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. Place of performance as Oklahoma 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 $598,957,952 unless they also carry 64.110. Correlation with Oklahoma's veteran population is not causation; that population is not in the facts. The extract reports $598,957,952 on 1,880 awards for the tagged pair only. Sibling 64.110 joins are not a safer or worse table — that framing does not apply to a compensation listing. Oklahoma place of performance is a location code, not a death tally.

1,880 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 $318,595 if $598,957,952 were divided evenly across 1,880 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 1,880 as a published count of Oklahoma DIC families. Open Veterans Dependency and Indemnity Compensation for Service-Connected Death in Oklahoma for the stored table. Personally identifiable details are not in these packet facts. The $598,957,952 total remains a catalog join. Recertifications can add rows without adding unique households.

Questions

How much VA DIC funding is obligated in Oklahoma?

USAspending.gov shows $598,957,952 in obligations for CFDA 64.110 with Oklahoma as place of performance, across 1,880 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 1,880 awards mean 1,880 DIC survivors in Oklahoma?

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 Oklahoma 64.110 overlay for how rows are stored.

Can Oklahoma's DIC total be ranked against Alabama'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 $598,957,952 and 1,880 awards for Oklahoma only, as commitments on assistance awards, not outlays.

Are the $599 million already paid to survivors?

Not on this metric. Obligations are recorded commitments on assistance awards. Outlays are payments from the Treasury. The $598,957,952 headline is the obligation rollup in SpendingVault's extract. Payment dates and remaining entitlement are not published in this packet.
