Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability federal funding in Illinois
Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability (CFDA 64.109) shows $8,940,879,384 in USAspending.gov obligations coded to Illinois, across 2,944 awards. This page joins that VA catalog program to Illinois place-of-performance. It is not a count of Illinois veterans, not a disability-rating distribution, and not an outlay conversion. USAspending.gov is the source table. Later ingests can move both the dollars and the 2,944-award count; treat this prose as a snapshot of one packet.
Key figures
- CFDA 64.109 × Illinois records $8,940,879,384 in USAspending obligations.
- 2,944 awards underlie that sum; the mean is about $3.04 million per record, not a typical check.
- Matching VA compensation to Illinois is not causation and not a veteran census.
- Cite obligations from USAspending.gov, not outlays.
Disability compensation meeting Illinois in the award file
CFDA 64.109 is Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability. Illinois (IL) is the geography tag. Together they produce $8,940,879,384 and 2,944 records. A 64.109 award tagged to Indiana, Missouri, or Wisconsin is excluded. A Illinois retirement-insurance, SSDI, or Medicaid row is a different CFDA. This page does not add those programs to the VA cell.
Two thousand nine hundred forty-four awards against $8,940,879,384 yields a mean of about $3,036,983.49 per record. That mean is not a typical monthly disability check. Large assistance vehicles and modifications can dominate dollars. This packet does not list veterans, ratings, or VBA regional offices.
Springfield did not cause $8,940,879,384 by appearing as a state code. VA did not “choose Illinois” in a sense this extract can prove. Correlation is not causation. Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability in Illinois is the live overlay.
What CFDA 64.109 is on USAspending.gov
The official catalog title is VETERANS COMPENSATION FOR SERVICE-CONNECTED DISABILITY. SpendingVault does not grade VBA processing times or Illinois’s veteran population. $8,940,879,384 is an obligation sum, not a caseload. CFDA 64.109 is the national hub without the Illinois filter. This packet has no national VA-compensation total, so none is quoted.
VA Annual Benefits Reports and VBA workload files are other series. They are not the 2,944 USAspending.gov awards. Mixing a veteran count from those files with this join would invent a per-veteran dollar figure the packet does not support.
Illinois’s statewide book besides 64.109
Illinois federal spending covers every CFDA coded to the state. Illinois programs is the catalog directory, including Part D, SSDI, and Medicaid lines that also appear as Illinois joins. $8,940,879,384 is one cell, not the state’s entire federal book.
Place-of-performance Illinois on a VA compensation vehicle can be a regional office or a payment operations address. It is not automatically the ZIP where a veteran lives. This packet has no county or congressional-district split of the $8,940,879,384.
Obligations versus disability checks already mailed
An obligation is a recorded commitment. An outlay is a payment. $8,940,879,384 is the commitment figure. This page does not convert the 2,944 awards into deposits in veterans’ accounts.
State veteran-affairs publications and the Illinois budget are different ledgers. Keep the citation on USAspending.gov.
How to cite the 64.109–Illinois join
Cite: Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability (CFDA 64.109) obligated $8,940,879,384 on 2,944 awards coded to Illinois, per USAspending.gov. Keep both keys. Keep “obligations.” Do not invent a fiscal year. All spending ties stores this pair with other program-by-state pages.
Later bulk files can move the dollars and the 2,944-award count. Prefer the overlay Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability in Illinois when the live table and this snapshot diverge.
What 2,944 rows will not be asked to prove
This page will not treat 2,944 awards as 2,944 veterans. Award rows are not people. It will not compute a per-veteran figure because the packet has no veteran census. It will not rank Illinois against other states on 64.109. Peer totals are other packets.
Part d, ssdi, and medicaid remain outside $8,940,879,384. Illinois federal spending, Illinois programs, CFDA 64.109, and All spending ties are the parent hubs. None of them recasts this join as a grade of VBA service in Illinois or as an outlay.
The mean of about $3.04 million per record will mislead anyone who treats it as a typical monthly check. There is no rating distribution here. There is $8,940,879,384 and 2,944 awards. That is the entire numeric claim.
Keep both the program name and Illinois in every citation sentence. Treat this JSON as a packet snapshot. A Great Lakes payment-center tag can concentrate dollars on Illinois even when beneficiaries live across the region. Place-of-performance is a coding field, not a residence map.
Do not freeze $8,940,879,384 as a permanent VA press total. If a later ingest disagrees, the overlay wins. Great Lakes Naval Station and Scott Air Force Base are not packet facts and do not explain the 64.109 cell. This page does not convert the join into a statement about combat exposure, claims backlogs, or military installations—those topics are absent from the packet. Keep USAspending.gov as the cited source and keep the obligation label on every sentence that uses the total.
