Department of Veterans Affairs federal obligations in Indiana

What the VA–Indiana join is

Awarding agency 036 and place-of-performance state IN meet here. $8,336,625,948.79 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 Indiana, and not an outlay register. Health care, benefits, and construction can share 036. A high row count pulls the implied mean down; that is arithmetic, not a typical appointment cost.

33,084 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 Unique recipients are unpublished.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 $8,336,625,948.79 by 33,084 yields about $251,984 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 Indiana for the live filtered table, Indiana federal spending for every awarding agency in the state extract, Department of Veterans Affairs for agency 036 without an Indiana filter, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $8,336,625,948.79.

Awarding agency 036 as the VA side

USAspending labels awarding agency 036 as Department of Veterans Affairs. That code produced $8,336,625,948.79 when crossed with Indiana place of performance. The agency-wide 036 hub does not require IN geography. The Indiana hub does not require VA. Only the overlay applies both filters, which is why this tie cites 33,084 awards.

A veteran census, a disability-rating table, and a hospital league table are unpublished. 33,084 awards is a thick VA action file, not a headcount of Hoosier veterans. A second VA slice on another state uses the same agency code and a different dollar total. Do not treat Indiana’s 036 cell as a synonym for every VA account.

Indiana as place of performance (IN)

Indiana on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to Indiana residents. Awards can list IN while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged Illinois, Ohio, Kentucky, or Michigan stay outside this cell even when care is delivered across the river. Indianapolis, Fort Wayne, and southern Indiana share one IN stamp.

Indiana federal spending shows how agency 036 sits beside other awarding agencies in the same geography. $8,336,625,948.79 is one column in that table, not the table. This packet does not split Indiana by county, metro, or congressional district.

Obligations, not outlays

USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $8,336,625,948.79 is that kind of sum for Department of Veterans Affairs inside Indiana coding. Later deobligations, recoveries, or payment schedules can change what leaves the Treasury without this join rewriting itself into a cash register. Assistance and contract awards can share the same awarding-agency rollup; this packet does not split them.

Indiana’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 33,084-row VA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $8,336,625,948.79 as given. Treat 33,084 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors.

Questions

How much VA spending is coded to Indiana?

USAspending.gov lists $8,336,625,948.79 in Department of Veterans Affairs obligations across 33,084 Indiana-coded awards. Agency 036 × IN is an obligation join, not an outlay and not Indiana’s complete federal ledger. Department of Veterans Affairs in Indiana is the live overlay for this pair. Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $251,984, a ratio of those two facts only.

Is $8,336,625,948.79 cash already paid in Indiana?

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.
