Medical Care
GDX source: VHA Allocation Resource Center (ARC) and FMS
$90.2M———Not comparableMost of VA medical spending is the payroll and operating cost of VA hospitals and clinics, which is not an award and never appears on USAspending. VHA's cost-of-care assistance listings (64.009–64.050) are reported inconsistently from year to year, and contract place of performance follows the facility rather than the patient's home.
Loan Guaranty
GDX source: FMS (through FY2023); VBA PA&I (FY2024+)

Categories GDX reports that are not compared

Shown so the state total is complete. These have no like-for-like USAspending counterpart; comparing them would report most of VA's own operating cost as a gap.
CategoryGDX expenditureHow GDX places itWhy not compared
Medical Care$90.2MPatient's home residence, not the site of care (research is booked to the facility performing it).Most of VA medical spending is the payroll and operating cost of VA hospitals and clinics, which is not an award and never appears on USAspending. VHA's cost-of-care assistance listings (64.009–64.050) are reported inconsistently from year to year, and contract place of performance follows the facility rather than the patient's home.
Loan Guaranty$118KThrough FY2023: Travis County, TX (processing location). FY2024+: county of the loan.USAspending records guaranteed loans by face value with zero federal obligation per loan; the budgetary cost (subsidy and claims) is not in the award file.
Memorial Benefits$422KPlace of performance (NCA) and county of the beneficiary (VBA burial).Mostly National Cemetery Administration operating cost with no award record; only the burial-allowance and grant pieces appear on USAspending.
GDX expenditure
VA's estimate of money spent in the fiscal year, by state (an expenditure measure, closer to outlays than to obligations; VA notes it can differ from both), from VA's Geographic Distribution of VA Expenditures report.
USAspending obligations
Net obligations recorded on USAspending.gov in the same fiscal year (sum of every transaction's federal action obligation), for the programs mapped to the same GDX category.
Coverage ratio
USAspending ÷ GDX. 100% means the award record accounts for the same dollars VA reports as spent. Obligations and expenditures are different measures, so exact agreement is not expected.
