Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance awarded by Department of Veterans Affairs

USAspending.gov records $26,703,455,649 in Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance obligations awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs. That figure is a CFDA 64.028 × agency 036 join, not an outlay and not a student headcount, a campus roster, or a tuition-price index. The pair cell $26,703,455,649 is larger than the program-wide obligation total $25,676,072,754 in this extract. Quote both figures; do not invent a second program to explain the gap. The extract lists 90,294 awards on the pair. The packet publishes no fiscal year.

Key figures

  • The extract lists 90,294 awards; implied mean about $295,739 — a packet quotient.
  • Figures are obligations, not outlays. FEC donations do not fund this cell.

Post-9/11 GI Bill × VA is CFDA 64.028, not a student census

This page is a join: Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance (CFDA 64.028) and the Department of Veterans Affairs (agency 036). $26,703,455,649 is the obligation sum on that pair. It is not the government-wide assistance total, not every CFDA on All programs, and not cash already paid. Correlation is not causation: a large pair cell does not prove the Department of Veterans Affairs caused activity described by the program title, or the reverse. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; FEC donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.

CFDA 64.028 is the program parent without an awarding-agency filter. Department of Veterans Affairs is the agency parent without this CFDA filter. All spending ties lists other pairs. A Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance award tagged to a different awarding agency sits outside this cell even if the CFDA is still 64.028. A Department of Veterans Affairs award on a different CFDA sits outside even if the topic sounds related. The pair cell and the program book differ in this extract. Quote the pair figure for agency 036 and the program figure only as the CFDA rollup, not as a second VA education program.

Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance as the program side

CFDA 64.028 is Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance. Confusing this join with other VA education listings, state veteran tuition waivers, or a DoD tuition-assistance table would be a different table. Packet facts on the program side are the name Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance, number 64.028, and program-wide obligations $25,676,072,754. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names. Any other vendor, school, tribe, carrier, or grantee list would be invented.

Department of Veterans Affairs as the awarding-agency side

Awarding-agency code 036 is the Department of Veterans Affairs. It is not a bureau split inside that department, not a place-of-performance state, and not a NAICS industry. The pair cell $26,703,455,649 is larger than the program-wide obligation total $25,676,072,754 in this extract. Quote both figures; do not invent a second program to explain the gap. Do not treat the program-wide $25,676,072,754 as if it were automatically the pair headline when the two figures differ. When they match, equality still does not name recipients.

Department of Veterans Affairs shows how Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance sits beside other CFDAs the Department of Veterans Affairs awards. This packet has no outlay total, no recipient roster, and no fiscal-year split. Beneficiary counts, school names, or housing-stipend shares are unpublished. School names, beneficiary IDs, and stipend splits are unpublished on this packet.

90,294 awards behind the Post-9/11–VA cell

The extract lists 90,294 awards on the Post-9/11 GI Bill × VA pair. A very thick education-assistance file: 90,294 awards against a large obligation total. Dividing $26,703,455,649 by 90,294 yields about $295,739 per award — a quotient of two packet facts, not a typical invoice and not a median. Unique recipients are unpublished. Modifications can add rows without naming a new organization. 90,294 is not a student headcount, a campus roster, or a tuition-price index.

90,294 is the pair’s award-record count in this extract, not a published recipient census. Unique vendors and places of performance are unpublished. Do not read 90,294 as 90,294 finished projects under Post-9/11 GI Bill.

GI Bill obligations are not tuition already remitted

An obligation is a legal commitment. An outlay is a payment. $26,703,455,649 is the former. Citing it as cash already cleared over-reads the field. The join cannot say that the Department of Veterans Affairs specialized in post-9/11 gi bill because of federal demand. Keep $26,703,455,649 labeled as Post-9/11 Veterans Educational Assistance obligations awarded by the Department of Veterans Affairs. It is not a student headcount, a campus roster, or a tuition-price index. The packet publishes no fiscal year, so this page does not invent one.
