Veterans services report: 2024 GDX data delayed; 2022–2023 funding totals cited
Summary
The county’s veterans service office presented a quarterly report and said the geographic distribution (GDX) report format changed, delaying 2024 figures until 2026; staff cited bringing in about $14 million in 2022 and $15.5 million in 2023 in veterans-related funding and services.
The Richland County Veterans Service Office presented its quarterly report at the Aug. 25 Executive Finance Committee meeting and said a change in reporting format has delayed availability of the geographic distribution (GDX) numbers for 2024.
Staff told the committee that the state changed the GDX format and that the 2024 numbers will not be ready until 2026. In lieu of more recent figures, staff cited historical totals: about $14,000,000 in veterans-related funding and services brought into the county in 2022 and $15,500,000 at the end of 2023. Staff also said the office planned outreach at the county fair.
Committee members had no substantive questions during the brief report and staff did not ask for action. The delayed GDX figures mean the committee will not have state-distributed, formatted 2024 totals available until the state completes the new reporting format, staff said.
