How VERA is calculated
1. VAMCs submit their expenditures in the various categories2. Weighted sum is calculated for each VAMC
3. Weighted total from all VAMCs is summed4. The total requested is divided by the total available to get the “national price” e.g. if national total = $1,000M and the available VERA allocation is $580M the national price is $580 / $1,000 = 58%5. Each VAMC’s weighted total is multiplied by the national price to get final allocation for that site6. Funds are sent to VISN who distributes to VAMCs Slide4
VERA dollars come two years later
1. VAMCs report totals at the end of FY12
3. VERA calculated over FY 133. Funds distributed in FY 14Slide5
