$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.

  • The year cell lists 13,645 awards; the program parent lists 81,399.

  • Figures are obligations, not outlays.

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 School names and program-of-study splits are unpublished.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.

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.
