Comparing DHS Component Funding, FY2021: In Brief

he homeland security appropriations bill includes all annual appropriations for the
Department of Homeland Security (DHS), providing resources to every departmental
T component.1 This report reviews the budget authority provided to DHS for FY2020 and
requested by the Donald J. Trump administration for FY2021, as well as the congressional
response. It also includes component-level information on FY2020 supplemental funding for
DHS provided in the P.L. 116-136, the CARES Act.2 The report provides a look at the resources
available to DHS components that are described in appropriations committee documentation, and
examines “net discretionary annual appropriations” for DHS—a perspective on the net impact of
legislation that funds DHS on congressionally-tracked budget totals.
The FY2021 DHS Appropriations Process
On February 10, 2020, the Trump Administration released their FY2021 budget request, which
included $49.71 billion in adjusted net discretionary budget authority to be provided through the
appropriations process—$0.75 billion (1.5%) less than had been enacted through the Department
of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2020 (P.L. 116-93, Div. D). As part of the request the
Administration requested moving $2.63 billion in U.S. Secret Service (USSS) funding from DHS
to the Department of the Treasury. When the USSS funding request is included in the FY2021
DHS appropriations request, the DHS request is $1.88 billion (3.7%) above the FY2020 enacted
level of annual appropriations.
On July 15, 2020, the House Appropriations Committee marked up H.R. 7669, its version of the
Department of Homeland Security Appropriations Act, 2021. H.Rept. 116-458 was filed July 20,
2020. Committee-reported H.R. 7669 included $50.69 billion in adjusted net discretionary budget
authority. This was $0.98 billion (2.0%) above the level requested by the Administration, and
$0.22 billion (0.4%) above the FY2020 enacted level of annual appropriations.
H.R. 7669 was not brought to the House floor before the end of FY2020—one of only two annual
appropriations measures for FY2021 to be reported by the House Appropriations Committee that
did not get floor consideration. As no annual appropriations for FY2021 had been signed into law
before the end of FY2020, on October 1, 2020, a continuing resolution was enacted (P.L. 116-
159), temporarily extending funding for the federal government at the FY2020 rate for operations
through December 11, 2020, including most DHS components and programs.3 Four additional
bills were enacted to extend the expiration date to December 28, 2020.4
On November 10, 2020, the chair of the Senate Committee on Appropriations released drafts of
all 12 annual appropriations bills along with draft explanatory statements for each.5 The release of

1 Under the Trump Administration’s FY2020 budget, as in previous years, DHS would also receive budgetary resources
through appropriations in permanent law, as well as reimbursements and transfers from other parts of the federal
government. However, the DHS appropriations act is the primary vehicle through which Congress annually funds and
directs the financial activities of the department.
2 The CARES Act was the third in a series of relief packages enacted during the COVID-19 pandemic. CARES is an
acronym for “Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security.” Division B of the CARES Act is the Emergency
Appropriations for Coronavirus Health Response and Agency Operations.

Comparing DHS Component Funding, FY2021: In Brief

the draft bills was intended to further negotiations on annual appropriations between the House
and the Senate.6 The Senate Appropriations majority draft bill for DHS for FY2021 included
$52.62 billion in adjusted net discretionary budget authority for FY2021. This was $2.91 billion
(5.9%) above the level requested by the Administration, and $2.15 billion (4.2%) above the
enacted annual level for FY2020.
Negotiations ultimately resulted in a consolidated measure that included all the annual
appropriations measures for FY2021, a COVID-19 emergency relief package, and a variety of
other non-appropriations bills. The negotiated bill included $51.88 billion in adjusted net
discretionary budget authority for DHS for FY2021. This was $2.16 billion (4.4%) above the
level requested by the Administration, and $1.41 billion (2.8%) above the enacted annual level for
FY2020. In addition to the annual appropriations for DHS, the bill also included $2 billion in
emergency supplemental appropriations specifically for funeral expenses related to COVID-19
through FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund.
The consolidated measure was attached as an amendment to H.R. 133, an unrelated bill that had
passed the Senate. The consolidated measure passed the House on December 21 with two
motions. A motion to agree to four annual appropriations bills (Commerce, Justice, Science, and
the Judiciary; Defense; Homeland Security; and Financial Services and General Government)
passed 327-85, and a second motion to agree to the rest of the negotiated package passed 359-53.
The Senate passed the bill later that night by a vote of 92-6. After criticizing a range of provisions
in the consolidated package, the President signed in bill into law (P.L. 116-260) on December 27,
2020.
DHS Budgetary Resources: Looking Beyond the
Score
Discussion regarding annual appropriations often centers on the appropriations provided in the
bill or how the bill scores against budget limitations. However, this “score” does not represent the
total budget authority provided to DHS, or controlled through appropriations bills and reports.
 The use of offsetting collections reduces the “score” of the bill and provides
significant resources to some components of DHS, such as the Transportation
Security Administration.
 Discretionary scores of bills do not include mandatory spending, resources
derived directly from fee collections without annual congressional action, or
resources covered by adjustments to the discretionary spending limits.7
Congress controls the reprogramming of many of these resources through detail tables provided
at the end of appropriations committee reports, conference reports, and statements of managers.

https://www.appropriations.senate.gov/news/minority/senate-approps-vice-chair-leahy-statement-on-the-release-of-the-
fy-2021-senate-appropriations-bills-.
7 These adjustments, established by the Budget Control Act of 2011 (BCA; P.L. 112-25), include special exemption
from discretionary spending limits for emergency requirements, the designated costs of major disasters, and for
Overseas Contingency Operations.

Figure 1 uses the data drawn from these detail tables to provide a more comprehensive picture of
the resources available to seven DHS components:8
 U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP),
 the U.S. Coast Guard (USCG),
 Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE),
 the Transportation Security Administration (TSA),
 Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA),
 U.S. Secret Service (USSS), and
 the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA).
These are the seven largest components of DHS in terms of net discretionary budget authority.
In Figure 1 these seven components are listed along the bottom axis. Each component’s funding
level as a section of the figure has four bars, representing the different phases of the
appropriations process: prior-year (i.e., FY2020) enacted, current year (i.e., FY2021) requested
annual appropriations, the ensuing responses of the House and Senate appropriations committees,
and the annual appropriations provided in the enacted consolidated appropriations measure.
The base segment of each bar represents net discretionary budget authority. On top of these bases
are several other segment types, representing fee revenues, offsetting collections, mandatory
spending,9 and funding covered by adjustments to discretionary spending limits under the Budget
Control Act of 2011 (BCA; P.L. 112-25) in annual appropriations.10
Figure 1 allows for a visual comparison of changes in individual component funding and
provides a more complete description of each component’s overall resource level than a review of
the net discretionary appropriations alone. Among the changes it illuminates are:
 the ongoing efforts by the Administration to increase funding for border barriers
(through CBP) and immigration enforcement (through ICE), seen in the FY2021
request, as well as the differing responses of the House and Senate appropriations
committees;
 the relative size of the investment in the costs of major disasters (FEMA),
compared to other elements of the DHS budget, as well as the perception of
increased need over the course of the appropriations process;
 the Administration’s proposal to shift the USSS to Treasury, which was not
enacted;
 the House and Senate appropriations committees’ increase in funding for
cybersecurity (CISA);

8 Supplemental appropriations measures often do not have their contents reflected in a concurrently produced table—
therefore, FY2020 supplemental appropriations data are drawn directly from the supplemental appropriations acts.
9 The mandatory spending reflected here is composed of two elements: Coast Guard retired pay, which is considered
mandatory spending but requires congressional action nonetheless; and $250 million from the Aviation Security Capital
Fund.
10 For the DHS appropriations legislation, these have included funding designated as disaster relief and funding
designated as supporting Overseas Contingency Operations. For more details about adjustments to discretionary
spending limits under the BCA, see CRS Report R45778, Exceptions to the Budget Control Act’s Discretionary
Spending Limits, by Megan S. Lynch.

 an increase in discretionary spending to support the TSA’s budget in the absence
of the Trump Administration’s proposed fee increase (reflected in a change in
offsetting collections); and
 the addition of $840 million in emergency funding to the CBP appropriation to
compensate for reduced fee revenues.
The reader may also note the large amount of supplemental funding for FEMA in FY2020
through the CARES Act, due in part to the high levels of disaster relief-designated funding in the
annual appropriations process to meet the needs of ongoing disaster recovery across the country.
Table 1, which follows immediately thereafter, provides a complete breakdown of the total
budget authority outlined in Figure 1 for all DHS components, arranged by FY2020 enacted net
discretionary budget authority.
Some DHS components have access to funding beyond the budget authority controlled for
reprogramming through the aforementioned detail tables in appropriations committee reports.
Although some of the mandatory spending for DHS, including fee-funded programs, is reflected
in the tables, much of DHS’s mandatory spending is not, and is therefore not reflected in Figure
1 or Table 1. This includes spending on flood insurance claims, as well as trust funds for the
Coast Guard and the Secret Service. Information on this type of mandatory spending can be found
in the Administration’s budget request.11
Likewise, the detail tables and the figures and tables based upon them in this report do not reflect
reimbursements between components for services provided, such as payments from partner
agencies to the Federal Law Enforcement Training Center for the cost of training programs.
Information on these resources can be found in the DHS annual budget justifications submitted to
Congress.12

DHS Appropriations: Comparing Scores
It is often rhetorically useful to describe the comparative difference in funding for given DHS
components. This is frequently done by comparing the net discretionary funding level for
components. Table 2 shows congressional action on net discretionary annual FY2021
appropriations for DHS distributed by departmental component.
Each grouping of three lines in Table 2 presents an analysis of a component’s net discretionary
annual appropriations—appropriations provided from the Treasury that are not offset by other
incoming resources.13 Lines below each component name indicate two baselines commonly used
to make comparisons of appropriations—the FY2021 requested funding level and the FY2020
enacted funding level, both expressed in thousands of dollars of net discretionary budget
authority. To the right of each component name in bold is the funding level reported by the House
Appropriations Committee in H.Rept. 116-458, the Senate Appropriations Committee majority’s
explanatory statement accompanying their draft bill, and the explanatory statement accompanying
P.L. 116-260, Division F. Below each line of bold numbers are two analytical lines showing the
change that bold number represents compared to the two baselines: these changes are reflected in
thousands of dollars, and then as a percentage. The components are ordered from largest to
smallest by FY2020 enacted annual net discretionary funding level.
FY2020 and FY2021 supplemental appropriations are not reflected in Table 2. The purpose of the
table is to provide comparative perspectives on annual appropriations levels at various stages of
the process, as well as to improve understanding of comparative annual appropriations levels
across the department, rather than to survey total resources provided by Congress, which can be
seen in Figure 1 and Table 1.

13 In accordance with appropriations committee practices, these totals do not include elements of annual funding
covered by the disaster relief designation or overseas contingency operations designation.
