| Budget Highlights |
|
The Division of Veterans' Affairs (DVA) assists, counsels and advocates for veterans, military personnel and their families. The Division coordinates with other State agencies as well as the Federal Government on programs affecting veterans and advocates for State and Federal actions to meet veterans’ needs. The Division serves more than 1.2 million New Yorkers who are veterans, including their dependents and those on active duty. The Division’s central office is located in Albany, with regional offices in New York City and Buffalo. This agency is included in the Public Protection and General Government appropriation bill. |
|
The Executive recommends an All Funds appropriation of $13,322,000 reflecting a net increase of $198,000 or 1.5 percent from State Fiscal Year (SFY) 2003-04. |
|
State Operations |
|
The Executive budget proposes $7,547,000 for State Operations in SFY 2004-05, which reflects a net decrease of $2,000 from the current year funding level. This decrease is attributable to a personal service adjustment. |
|
The Executive also proposes a $2,282,000 Special Revenue- Federal Fund appropriation for the Higher Education Services Program and Veterans’ Counseling Services Program. This appropriation is unchanged from SFY 2003-04 and represents the actual level of anticipated Federal support for the Veterans' Education Program. |
|
Aid To Localities |
|
The Executive recommends $5,775,000 for Aid to Localities in SFY 2004-05, representing a net increase of $200,000 or a 3.59 percent increase from current year funding levels. This increase will enable the Division to provide the Patriot Plan Supplemental Burial Benefit. |
