What this means
VA provides health care, disability compensation, education benefits, and other services for veterans. It is consistently one of the larger awarding and outlay agencies. Award figures on The Ledger come from archived USAspending awarding-agency rollups (obligations). That is not the same as every dollar the agency outlays.
