Totals sum the latest loaded 2023 public Form 5500 filing per plan for VA plans — one filing per plan, so multiple years are never double-counted. Figures are reported values from loaded Schedule H / I (and Schedule C for provider compensation); fields a plan did not report are treated as missing, not zero. These are not audited or official totals.
