Dataset Description
This report provides state-level estimates of the number of Veterans receiving VA Pension benefits at the close of fiscal year 2024. It includes the Veterans’ sex. Blank values represent small cell counts that have been suppressed to protect the identity of Veterans as well as some cell counts that have been suppressed in order to prevent the determination of the values of the aforementioned small cell counts. Some categories may not sum to the total due to missing information (e.g., sex, etc.).
The availability of sex data is limited as some records have no sex available. In the table, there are 164 Veterans whose sex is not available.
There are a small number of pension recipients for whom neither state nor country could be determined from the data sources used. These pension recipients are not included in the table.
The number of Veterans who were pension recipients during FY 2024 but were no longer pension recipients at the end of FY 2024 is 26,795. These Veterans are not included in the table.
