Department of Veterans Affairs federal obligations in Ohio

VA’s Ohio-coded award book

Keep two filters in view. Awarding agency is Department of Veterans Affairs, agency 036. Geography is Ohio. The surviving file is $15,612,617,318.68 and 38,812 awards. Medical care, construction, and benefits-related vehicles can share the VA awarding-agency code. This packet does not classify the mix. Other awarding agencies inside Ohio sit on other pages even when the same metro hosts their work.

Dollars per record come to about $402,263. That mean mixes large assistance or contract vehicles with smaller actions. It is not a typical clinic visit and not a per-veteran payment. Unique recipients are unpublished. Ohio’s VA cell is 036 × OH only. Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati share the statewide tag with farm counties. This page does not split them and does not rank Ohio’s veteran need.

What the VA–Ohio pair is not

This join is not a veteran census, a wait-time score, or a care-quality grade. $15,612,617,318.68 measures award obligations with a 036 awarding-agency code and a OH place-of-performance tag. Ohio’s three large metros share the OH tag with farm counties. This packet does not split them. Lake Erie is not a state code. Indiana and Pennsylvania awards stay in other cells.

Department of Veterans Affairs in Ohio is the overlay. Ohio federal spending still includes every other awarding agency in the state extract. Department of Veterans Affairs is the parent agency hub without an Ohio filter. All spending ties holds the rest of the join list. Correlation is not causation: sharing a state with VA does not mean the state caused the cell.

Obligation versus outlay on agency 036

Assistance and contract awards can obligate in one fiscal window and pay on a different schedule. $15,612,617,318.68 is the commitment sum. Treating it as cash already cleared in Ohio confuses obligations with outlays. The packet does not assign a fiscal year to the headline; treat $15,612,617,318.68 as the obligation total present in the indexed file.

Ohio’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 38,812-row VA cell leaves USAspending.gov. Net obligations can include de-obligations. The implied mean near $402,263 is dollars divided by records, not a typical clinic visit and not a per-veteran payment.

One OH tag, not Cuyahoga versus Franklin versus Hamilton

This packet does not split $15,612,617,318.68 by county, metro, or Cleveland, Columbus, and Cincinnati. 38,812 awards stay statewide. Neighboring Pennsylvania, Michigan, Indiana, Kentucky, and West Virginia remain other state cells even when labor markets or projects cross those lines. Publishing Cuyahoga versus Franklin versus Hamilton as a subtotal would invent a number.

Place of performance can follow work in-state, a recipient address, or a reporting convention. Department of Veterans Affairs is the 036 hub without a Ohio filter. Use it for the agency book; use this page for the OH intersection only.
