$1,388,167,658 in USAspending.gov obligations tags Survivors And Dependents Educational Assistance (CFDA 64.117) to fiscal year 2026. 13,645 awards carry that yearlyTrend cell. The pair is a catalog listing plus a fiscal-year key, not a student-dependent headcount, a CHAMPVA overlay, or a Post-9/11 GI Bill twin. USAspending.gov is the source. Correlation is not causation.

How CFDA 64.117 meets FY2026 in the award file
This page is a join: Survivors And Dependents Educational Assistance and fiscal year 2026. $1,388,167,658 is the USAspending.gov obligation sum on the yearlyTrend row that carries both tags. It is not every federal dollar in FY2026, not an outlay register, and not a student-dependent headcount, a CHAMPVA overlay, or a Post-9/11 GI Bill twin. The FY cell is 23.0% of the program-wide $6,035,253,615 book in this extract. A different fiscal year for CFDA 64.117 is a separate overlay. Campaign-finance tables are a different dataset; FEC donations do not fund these USAspending obligations.
CFDA 64.117 is the listing without the year filter. FY2026 federal spending is the year without this CFDA filter. All programs lists other catalog hubs. All spending ties indexes other pairs. Only this tie applies both filters. 13,645 is the year-cell award-record count; the program parent lists 81,399 awards across the extract. Those counts are different tables.
Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance as the program side of the FY2026 join
The official title is SURVIVORS AND DEPENDENTS EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE. SpendingVault does not grade Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance. $1,388,167,658 is an obligation sum, not a verdict. Confusing this join with CHAMPVA, Veteran Readiness And Employment, or other veterans catalog lines that are not CFDA 64.117 would be a different table. Packet facts on the program side are the name Survivors And Dependents Educational Assistance, number 64.117, program-wide obligations $6,035,253,615, and 81,399 awards on the parent. This packet lists no award recipients and no contractor names.
Survivors And Dependents Educational Assistance is CFDA 64.117. FY2026 can still be incomplete. The program parent lists 81,399 awards across the extract; that parent count is not a FY2026-only student census. School names and program-of-study splits are unpublished. Do not treat the year cell as tuition already paid.

Questions
- How much Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance is in FY2026?
- USAspending.gov records $1,388,167,658 in Survivors And Dependents Educational Assistance obligations for FY2026 (CFDA 64.117). That is a program × year join, not an outlay and not the government-wide FY2026 total. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
- Do 13,645 awards mean 13,645 students used DEA in FY2026?
- No. 13,645 is the year-cell award-record count, not 13,645 unique students, survivors, or campuses. A mean of about $101,734.53 is arithmetic on packet facts, not a typical payment. Unique recipients are unpublished. Original filings remain on USAspending.gov.
- Is $1,388,167,658 cash already paid for Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance in FY2026?
- No. $1,388,167,658 is an obligation aggregate for Survivors And Dependents Educational Assistance in FY2026. Outlays, remaining balances, and cash already paid are unpublished on this packet. Keep the obligation label. USAspending.gov remains the source. Keep Survivors And Dependents Educational Assistance and FY2026 together when citing $1,388,167,658.
- Which pages parent Survivors and Dependents Educational Assistance FY2026?
- CFDA 64.117 is the program parent. FY2026 federal spending is the year parent. All programs lists other CFDA hubs. All spending ties lists other pairs. Prefer those tables after later ingests; this page quotes Survivors And Dependents Educational Assistance × FY2026 at $1,388,167,658.
