Which code does this activity belong in?
Administration of Veterans' Affairs covers government establishments that administer veterans' services including assistance programs, training, counseling, and related support for veterans and their families. The boundary distinguishes veterans' affairs administration from broader human resource program administration classified in NAICS 92313, which handles assistance and social services not specific to veterans. Veterans' Affairs offices that coordinate with other agencies remain within 92314 rather than education program administration (92311) or public health administration (92312), even when activities touch those areas.
