VA disability compensation in North Carolina 3rd (NC-03)
Place-of-performance NC-03 crossed with Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability (CFDA 64.109) yields $1,116,446,432 in USAspending.gov obligations on 130 awards. One hundred thirty veterans-compensation awards equal about eight percent of NC-03’s district obligation total, a thicker VA file than Colorado 5th’s twelve-row pair. That pair is Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability and North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03) — not North Carolina’s entire federal inflow, not Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability nationwide, and not cash already paid. The cell is 7.9% of this district’s published obligation total ($14,107,795,476.14). Implied average obligation is about $8,588,049.48 ($1,116,446,432 ÷ 130). Correlation is not causation.

The North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03) filter on VA disability
CFDA 64.109 and congressional district NC-03 meet here. $1,116,446,432 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on awards that carry both tags. It is not Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability’s nationwide total, not every federal dollar coded to North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03), and not an outlay register. The packet does not split rating percentages and does not publish a veteran denominator. 130 is an action count: modifications and repeat awards add rows. Unique recipients are unpublished. It is not a veteran headcount, a rating census, or a named-beneficiary file.
Dividing $1,116,446,432 by 130 yields about $8,588,049.48 per award on average. That ratio is two packet facts. It is not a typical monthly compensation or a posted per-veteran figure. 130 awards is a moderate VA file. Volume pulls the implied mean down relative to CO-05’s thinner same-CFDA pair. Veterans remain unpublished. Do not treat NC-03’s 64.109 cell as a synonym for every VA disability account nationwide. Open North Carolina 3rd District for the district table without this program filter, CFDA 64.109 for CFDA 64.109 without the NC-03 filter, North Carolina federal spending for every program in the North Carolina extract, and All spending ties for the rest of the join list. Quote those hubs as parents, not as addends to $1,116,446,432.
The VA disability catalog line
USAspending labels CFDA 64.109 as Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability. That catalog number produced $1,116,446,432 when crossed with North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03) place of performance. The program-wide 64.109 hub does not require NC-03 geography. The district hub does not require VA disability. Only this tie applies both filters, which is why it cites 130 awards. The packet does not split rating percentages and does not publish a veteran denominator.
Correlation is not causation: North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03) did not “cause” $1,116,446,432 by existing as a large or small place. Population, outcome scores, and named facilities are not packet facts. The join is 64.109 × NC-03 only. It is not a veteran headcount, a rating census, or a named-beneficiary file. Do not invent contractors or award recipients to fill the gap. Campaign donations on FEC tables do not fund this USAspending cell; the datasets are separate.
Reading the NC-03 stamp
North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03) on this join is a USAspending geography field, not a claim that every dollar was disbursed to residents of that district. Awards can list NC-03 while later work occurs elsewhere. Awards tagged to other North Carolina districts belong on those ties even when the CFDA is also 64.109. North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03) is a numbered congressional place-of-performance code inside North Carolina. Other North Carolina districts are separate joins even when they reuse CFDA 64.109. North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03) is not NC-02 or NC-04. Those North Carolina pairs use special education, addiction research, and USAID catalog lines.
North Carolina federal spending shows how CFDA 64.109 sits beside other programs in the same state extract. $1,116,446,432 is one district-program column, not the state table. This packet does not split North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03) by county, city, or census tract. Awards that carry a different CFDA stay on those other ties even if the work sounds related to Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability. The district-wide obligation total published here is $14,107,795,476.14; $1,116,446,432 is the VA disability slice of that denominator.
USAspending obligations on this pair
USAspending.gov records an obligation when the federal government commits funds on an award. $1,116,446,432 is that kind of sum for Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability inside NC-03 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 CFDA rollup; this packet does not split them. Net obligations can include downward adjustments. This page reports $1,116,446,432 as given.
North Carolina’s own budget is a separate ledger. Mixing it with the 130-row VA disability cell leaves USAspending.gov. Treat 130 as award records in the aggregate, not unique vendors. 130 is not a count of veterans, ratings, or claims. Do not annualize without a year field in the packet. Do not per-capita or per-recipient the dollar total; those denominators are unpublished. The implied mean ($8,588,049.48) is a concentration statistic, not a typical monthly compensation or a posted per-veteran figure.
Citing $1,116,446,432 without dropping a join side

If North Carolina 3rd District or CFDA 64.109 has refreshed, prefer the live hub over this snapshot for current rows. The pair is not a veteran headcount, a rating census, or a named-beneficiary file. 7.9% of $14,107,795,476.14 is the district share on this packet, not a performance score. Florida 1st’s 36-row VA pair is another 64.109 geography. Do not add FL-01, CO-05, and NC-03 as one statewide VA book.
Row count versus dollar concentration
130 awards is a moderate VA file. Volume pulls the implied mean down relative to CO-05’s thinner same-CFDA pair. Veterans remain unpublished. A large row count makes a project split tempting; the packet still does not supply one. A small row count makes a named-facility story tempting; the packet still does not name facilities or contractors. The implied mean (about $8,588,049.48) and the district share (7.9% of $14,107,795,476.14) are ratios of packet facts. Prefer North Carolina 3rd District and CFDA 64.109 if the live tables moved.
Questions
- How much VA disability spending is coded to North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03)?
- USAspending.gov lists $1,116,446,432 in Veterans Compensation For Service-Connected Disability obligations across 130 awards with place of performance in North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03). CFDA 64.109 × NC-03 is an obligation join, not an outlay and not North Carolina’s complete federal ledger. The cell is 7.9% of the district’s published total ($14,107,795,476.14). Unique recipients are unpublished. Average obligation is about $8,588,049.48, a ratio of those two facts only.
- Does $1,116,446,432 include every VA disability project in NC-03?
- The packet publishes one CFDA rollup. The packet does not split rating percentages and does not publish a veteran denominator. $1,116,446,432 is the combined obligation sum for CFDA 64.109 inside NC-03 coding. This page will not invent a project pie or name contractors. Open CFDA 64.109 and North Carolina 3rd District to inspect parent tables. 130 remains an action count, not a count of veterans, ratings, or claims.
- Is $1,116,446,432 cash already paid in North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03)?
- 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. Treating $1,116,446,432 as checks already cleared in North Carolina 3rd District (NC-03) confuses those terms. Later ingests can revise 130 awards. Prefer the live district and program hubs if the tables moved.
- Why is the implied average $8,588,049.48 not a typical award?
- The average is $1,116,446,432 divided by 130 awards, about $8,588,049.48. Thick files pull the mean down; thin files pull it up. Neither case publishes a typical instrument. Modifications add rows. Recipients are unpublished. Use the ratio only as a concentration statistic.
