The FY2027 President's Budget requests $30.0M for DOW-VA Health Care Sharing Incentive Fund (036-0165), within Veterans Affairs's Veterans Health Administration account. That is down 91% on the FY2026 figure of $330.0M, which is the enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $30.0M |
| FY2026 | enacted | $330.0M |
| FY2027 | request | $30.0M |

Veterans Affairs discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Veterans Affairs's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
Also known as the Joint Incentive Fund, it pools contributions from the Departments of War and Veterans Affairs to seed and develop joint health care sharing initiatives at the facility, regional, and nationwide level.
Extracted from Veterans Affairs Programs, p. 78. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
Contracts funded by this line
1 linked contract. These are obligations — lifetime awarded money — and they are not comparable to the request above and are never added to it. No total is shown: an award linked to several lines is counted in full on each, so the sum would not be a fact.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.

Answers come from the figures on this page and nothing else. These dollars are parsed from Veterans Affairs's Congressional Justification and are approximate — confirm anything that matters against the cited page.
