Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance in Texas

The 64.028–Texas join

CFDA 64.028 is titled POST-9/11 VETERANS EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE. Crossed with Texas place of performance, obligations sum to $3,078,077,103 on 6,637 awards. The national Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance hub includes other states. Texas’s spending hub includes other programs. Only this intersection is reported here. $3,078,077,103 is an obligation aggregate from USAspending.gov, not an outlay and not a school-approvals list or a veteran census.

6,637 awards is a high-volume education-benefit pattern. The implied mean of about $463,775 per award is larger than a typical academic-year tuition payment and is not a count of Texas veterans in school. The join does not name recipients, list contractors, or invent donor names. Packet facts stop at $3,078,077,103, 6,637 awards, TX, and 64.028. Correlation is not causation. 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). Mixing other catalogs into $3,078,077,103 would invent a broader total than this cell contains. Facts available: Texas, CFDA 64.028, $3,078,077,103, 6,637 awards. 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 Unique recipients are unpublished. 6,637 is a USAspending award-record count, not a person, school, clinic, or contractor census.

Texas geography on the GI Bill tag

TX is the place-of-performance code. Awards coded to Oklahoma, New Mexico, Louisiana, or Arkansas stay outside $3,078,077,103 even when a student later transfers. A GI Bill obligation can still appear as records tagged to Austin, Houston, San Antonio, or another in-state address. The code does not convert $3,078,077,103 into a county map or a ranking of places as winners or losers.

Texas federal spending is the all-program parent. 64.028 is one row on Texas programs. $3,078,077,103 is not the state’s complete federal footprint.

Do not add those parents into $3,078,077,103.

6,637 awards under $3.08 billion

$3,078,077,103 ÷ 6,637 is about $463,775 per award. That average is not a median and not a typical household, student, or meal payment. Net obligations can include downward modifications; the total shown is the aggregate in the facts. Treat 6,637 as a record count. Housing stipends, tuition, and books can sit inside the same catalog; the packet does not split $3,078,077,103 among those uses.

USAspending obligations can be positive new awards or net of downward modifications; $3,078,077,103 is the net total supplied in the facts. Without a transaction register, you cannot see how many of the 6,637 rows are continuations, renewals, or corrections. Later ingests can restate $3,078,077,103 without changing the join key of 64.028 and TX.

What Post-9/11 aid in Texas does not prove

A 64.028 total tagged to Texas does not measure program quality, and it does not equal cash already paid. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation is not causation. The headline remains $3,078,077,103 on 6,637 awards for Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance in Texas.

Keep both sides of the join: Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance and Texas, obligations only. Do not annualize $3,078,077,103 without a year field—this packet publishes none. Do not treat 6,637 as a person or contractor census. Quote USAspending.gov and the overlay path rather than a policy story.
