Where the Department's dollars actually go.

The whole Department of Veterans Affairs (USAspending toptier agency 036) as recorded in the public spending feed: budgetary resources and obligations by fiscal year, and the largest contract awards. Most of VA's money is paid directly to Veterans as benefits; the contract awards below are the procurement footprint — health care, the Electronic Health Record, IT, and construction.

Data currency

VA publishes contract-award detail without the Department of War's 90-day OPSEC withholding. Normal USAspending reporting lag still applies, so the contracts table is shown for the latest fully-loaded fiscal year; the in-progress fiscal year is partial and would understate.
