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
Funds Veterans education benefits, including the Post-9/11 GI Bill, and pays subsistence allowances, books, supplies, tuition, and fees under the Veteran Readiness and Employment program to support Service members transitioning to civilian life.
Extracted from Veterans Affairs Programs, p. 78. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
