Veterans State Nursing Home Care (CFDA 64.015) in Oklahoma

Seven awards, $1.19 billion, one catalog code

CFDA 64.015 is titled Veterans State Nursing Home Care. Oklahoma is the place-of-performance state. $1,193,641,540.94 is the obligation sum on rows that carry both keys. Seven awards against that total produces a large mean. A small row count often flags multi-year or high-value assistance instruments rather than thousands of small invoices. The packet does not name the recipients or the bed counts.

This join is not Oklahoma’s Department of Veterans Affairs budget, and it is not every VA assistance line in the state. Post-9/11 educational assistance and other 64-series codes live on other ties. Mixing those codes into 64.015 would overstate or understate $1,193,641,540.94.

What CFDA 64.015 records

The catalog title points to federal support for state-run veterans nursing homes, not to every VA hospital, clinic, or disability payment. USAspending tags the assistance type as 64.015. The facts supplied here are the obligation total, the 7-award count, state OK, and the CFDA number. No per-diem rate and no occupancy table appear in the packet.

Obligations are recorded commitments. They are not proof that $1,193,641,540.94 has been disbursed as cash to Oklahoma homes in a single year. Downward modifications can sit in the same net figure. Treat the total as an aggregate, not a check register.

Oklahoma on the geography key

Oklahoma is USAspending state code OK. Performance coded to a facility inside the state can land in this cell even if a recipient’s mailing address sits elsewhere. Awards coded to Texas, Kansas, or Arkansas stay off this page. $1,193,641,540.94 is not a county map of veterans homes and is not Oklahoma’s complete federal spending total.

The Oklahoma spending hub rolls up every program. CFDA 64.015 is one line on that hub. Readers comparing veterans programs should keep educational assistance, compensation, and nursing-home care on separate CFDA pages.

Why the average looks large

About $170.5 million per award ($1,193,641,540.94 ÷ 7) is an arithmetic mean. With seven rows, one large instrument moves the average sharply. The packet does not publish a median. Do not read the mean as the cost of one resident-year of care.

A low award count next to a billion-dollar sum is a table shape, not evidence that Oklahoma’s veterans homes are more expensive than those in other states. Other 64.015 state cells can show different row counts for their own operational reasons. This page does not rank them.

Limits of the Oklahoma–64.015 pair

Place of performance is not the same as state selection of awards, and obligations are not outlays. FEC donations do not fund this USAspending cell. Correlation between a veterans-care catalog code and an Oklahoma geography tag is not causation.

Using the seven-row overlay without over-reading it

Veterans State Nursing Home Care in Oklahoma is the overlay for this join. Seven awards summing to $1,193,641,540.94 will look sparse next to program pages that list hundreds of rows. Sparse does not mean incomplete in the USAspending sense: the aggregate is still the full cell for CFDA 64.015 inside Oklahoma as harvested. It does mean that a single modification on one instrument can move the statewide total by tens of millions. Readers should not infer bed counts, occupancy, or per-diem rates from the award count.

Oklahoma federal spending rolls up every CFDA. This nursing-home line is one VA assistance code on that hub. Post-9/11 educational assistance and other 64-series programs, when they appear, live on other ties. The national 64.015 hub drops the Oklahoma filter. Keep those three views separate. The pair is a join, not a statement that Oklahoma’s veterans homes caused $1,193,641,540.94 to exist, and not a statement that outlays have already matched that commitment.
