The 64.028–Texas join

Texas’s 6,637 Post-9/11 instruments against $3,078,077,103 are a high-volume education-benefit file, not a count of veterans enrolled this term.

Post-9/11 education is not disability compensation

The catalog title names Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance. It is not VA disability compensation, housing, or Montgomery GI Bill catalogs (those are different rows).

Recipient names, invoices, and caseload counts are not in the facts.

Dividing $3,078,077,103 by 6,637 yields about $463,775 per award. Unique recipients are unpublished. 6,637 is a USAspending award-record count, not a person, school, clinic, or contractor census.
