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
Trust fund paying life insurance benefits, dividends, and death claims to policyholders of the National Service Life Insurance program, established in 1940 to insure World War II-era service personnel.
Extracted from Veterans Affairs Programs, p. 78. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
