This report tracks FY2010 appropriations for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies (L-HHS-ED). This legislation provides discretionary funds for three major federal departments and 13 related agencies. The report summarizes L-HHS-ED discretionary funding issues but not authorization or entitlement issues.
On May 7, 2009, President Obama submitted the FY2010 budget request to Congress, including $163.8 billion in discretionary L-HHS-ED funds. The comparable FY2009 amount was $160.1 billion, enacted mainly through the Omnibus Appropriations Act, 2009 (P.L. 111-8, Division F). The request was an increase of $3.7 billion (2.3%) over FY2009. On July 22, 2009, the House Committee on Appropriations reported H.R. 3293 (H.Rept. 111-220), its proposal for FY2010 L-HHS-ED appropriations. The House passed the bill, amended, on July 24, approving $165.6 billion in discretionary funds, $1.9 billion over the request and an increase of $5.6 billion (3.5%) over FY2009. The Senate Committee on Appropriations reported its version of H.R. 3293 on August 4, 2009 (S.Rept. 111-66), recommending $165.4 billion in discretionary funds for L-HHS-ED, $1.6 billion over the request and an increase of $5.3 billion (3.3%) over FY2009. Two continuing resolutions (CRs) provided temporary FY2010 funding until enactment of P.L. 111-117, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010, on December 16, 2009. Division D of the consolidated act provided $165.8 billion for discretionary L-HHS-ED programs, an increase of $5.8 billion (3.6%) over FY2009.
Some L-HHS-ED agencies and programs have supplemental funding available in FY2010 from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 (ARRA, P.L. 111-5). ARRA provided $124.2 billion in FY2009 emergency supplemental appropriations for discretionary L-HHS-ED programs, with funds generally available for obligation through September 30, 2010.
Department of Labor (DOL). FY2009 discretionary appropriations for DOL were $12,411 million. For FY2010, the President requested $13,280 million, $869 million (7.0%) more than funding for FY2009. P.L. 111-117 provided $13,534 million for DOL, an increase of $1,123 million (9.0%) over FY2009. Workforce Investment Act (WIA) programs received $5,545 million, an increase of $232 million (4.4%) above the $5,314 million provided for FY2009.
Department of Health and Human Services (HHS). FY2009 discretionary appropriations for HHS were $71,385 million. For FY2010, the President requested $71,758 million, $373 million (0.5%) more than the FY2009 amount. P.L. 111-117 provided $73,958 million in discretionary funding for HHS, an increase of $2,573 million (3.6%) over FY2009.
Department of Education (ED). FY2009 discretionary appropriations for ED were $63,533 million. For FY2010, the President requested $64,692 million, $1,159 million (1.8%) more than the FY2009 amount. P.L. 111-117 provided $64,278 million in discretionary funding for ED, $744 million (1.2%) more than FY2009.
Related Agencies. FY2009 discretionary appropriations for Related Agencies were $12,748 million. For FY2010, the President requested $14,028 million, $1,280 million (10.0%) more than the FY2009 amount. P.L. 111-117 provided Related Agencies with $14,076 million in discretionary funding, an increase of $1,328 million (10.4%) over FY2009.
This report tracks FY2010 appropriations for the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies (L-HHS-ED). This legislation provides discretionary funds for three major federal departments and 13 related agencies. The report summarizes L-HHS-ED discretionary funding issues but not authorization or entitlement issues.

For FY2010, the President requested $14,028 million, $1,280 million (10.0%) more than the FY2009 amount. P.L. 111-117 provided Related Agencies with $14,076 million in discretionary funding, an increase of $1,328 million (10.4%) over FY2009.
On May 7, 2009, President Obama submitted his FY2010 budget to Congress, including a request for $163.8 billion in discretionary funds for programs covered in the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies (L-HHS-ED) appropriations bill.
On July 22, 2009, the House Committee on Appropriations reported H.R. 3293 (H.Rept. 111-220), its proposal for FY2010 L-HHS-ED appropriations. The bill was debated in the House on July 24 and was passed, with several amendments, by a vote of 264-153. The bill would have provided $165.6 billion in discretionary funds for L-HHS-ED.
On August 4, 2009, the Senate Committee on Appropriations reported its version of H.R. 3293 (S.Rept. 111-66). The committee recommended $165.4 billion in discretionary L-HHS-ED funds.
On October 1, 2009, the President signed into law H.R. 2918, the FY2010 Legislative Branch Appropriations Act (P.L. 111-68), which also, in Division B, provided temporary funding at the FY2009 rate of operations for most government agencies for the period October 1 through October 31, 2009, unless regular FY2010 appropriations measures were enacted sooner.
On October 30, 2009, the President signed into law a second CR, Division B of P.L. 111-88, which amended P.L. 111-68 to extend the temporary funding to December 18, 2009. Division B had been added on October 28 to the conference report on Interior-Environment appropriations (H.R. 2996, H.Rept. 111-316).
On December 8, 2009, a conference report was filed for a consolidated FY2010 appropriations act, covering six of the seven regular appropriations measures that had not yet been enacted (Defense appropriations were enacted separately). H.R. 3288, the Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010, was used as the vehicle for the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010. The conference agreement and explanatory statement (H.Rept. 111-366) had a division for each of the six appropriations measures. Division D of the agreement provided the FY2010 L-HHS-ED appropriations, including $165.8 billion in discretionary funding. The conference report was adopted by the House on December 10 and by the Senate on December 13, and was signed by the President on December 16, 2009, as P.L. 111-117.

e. H.R. 3293: The Senate Committee on Appropriations approved its version of H.R. 3293 on July 30, 2009, by a vote of 29-1, and ordered the bill reported. Subsequently, H.R. 3293 (S.Rept. 111-66) was reported on August 4, 2009.
f. P.L. 111-68: The FY2010 Continuing Appropriations Resolution, Division B of P.L. 111-68 (H.R. 2918), provided temporary FY2010 funding for L-HHS-ED activities for the period October 1, 2009, through October 31, 2009. A second CR, amending P.L. 111-68 to extend the temporary funding to December 18, 2009, was enacted as Division B of P.L. 111-88 (H.R. 2996), on October 30, 2009.
g. H.R. 3288: The Transportation, and Housing and Urban Development, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2010 (H.R. 3288) became the vehicle for a six-bill Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010, with the L-HHS-ED act as Division D. The conference report (H.Rept. 111-366) was filed on December 8, 2009; the House adopted it on December 10 by a vote of 221-202-1; the Senate adopted it on December 13 by a vote of 57-35; and President Obama signed it into law on December 16, 2009, as P.L. 111-117.
In this report, unless stated otherwise, data on FY2009 and FY2010 appropriations are based on the December 9, 2009, table from the House Committee on Appropriations. The data for FY2009 appropriations primarily reflect enactment of P.L. 111-8 (FY2009 Omnibus Appropriations, enacted March 11, 2009) and P.L. 111-5 (the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, ARRA, enacted February 17, 2009). In addition, amounts for certain HHS programs reflect FY2009 funding provided by either the Consolidated Appropriations Act for FY2009 (P.L. 110-329, enacted September 30, 2008) or the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009, (P.L. 111-32, enacted June 24, 2009). The data for FY2010 reflect the President's budget request, House passage of H.R. 3293, the Senate committee recommendations on H.R. 3293, and enactment of P.L. 111-117, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010.
In most cases, data represent net funding for specific programs and activities, and take into account current and forward funding and advance appropriations; however, all data are subject to additional budgetary scorekeeping. Except where noted, data refer only to those programs within the purview of L-HHS-ED appropriations, and not to all programs within the jurisdiction of the relevant departments and agencies. Funding from other appropriations bills, and entitlements funded outside of the annual appropriations process, are excluded.
This report describes the highlights of President Obama's proposals for FY2010 appropriations for L-HHS-ED programs, as submitted to Congress on May 7, 2009, and the congressional response to those proposals. Discussions focus primarily on discretionary programs. The report does not follow specific funding issues related to mandatory L-HHS-ED programs—such as Medicare or Social Security—nor does it follow any authorizing legislation related to the President's budget initiatives. For a glossary of budget terms and relevant websites, see the Appendix, "Terminology and Web Resources."
The L-HHS-ED bill typically is one of the more controversial of the regular appropriations bills, not only because of the size of its funding total and the scope of its programs, but also because of the continuing importance of various related issues, such as restrictions on the use of federal funds for abortion, human embryonic stem cell research, and needle exchange programs. This bill provides discretionary and mandatory funds to three federal departments and 13 related agencies, including the Social Security Administration (SSA). Discretionary funding represents less than one-quarter of the total in the bill. Among the various appropriations bills, L-HHS-ED is the largest single source of discretionary funds for domestic (non-defense) federal programs (the Department of Defense bill is the largest source of discretionary funds among all federal programs).
This section presents several overview tables on funding in the bill, particularly discretionary funding, and discusses related issues such as 302(b) allocations and advance appropriations. Later sections provide details on individual L-HHS-ED departments and agencies.
Table 2 summarizes the L-HHS-ED appropriations enacted for FY2009 and FY2010, including both discretionary and mandatory appropriations. The table shows various aggregate measures of L-HHS-ED appropriations, including the discretionary program level, current year level, and advance appropriations, as well as scorekeeping adjustments.
Because appropriations may consist of mixtures of budget authority enacted in various years, both of the summary measures mentioned above are frequently used: program level appropriations and current year appropriations. How are these measures related? For an "operational definition," program level funding equals (a) current year, plus (b) advances for future years, minus (c) advances from prior years, and minus (d) scorekeeping adjustments. Alternatively, current year funding is derived by taking the program level (total in the bill), subtracting the advances for future years, adding in the advances from prior years, and applying the scorekeeping adjustments. Table 2 shows each of these amounts for discretionary funding, along with current year funding and program level funding for mandatory programs, and the grand total for L-HHS-ED.

Sources: Amounts are based on the December 9, 2009, table from the House Committee on Appropriations and the conference report table in H.Rept. 111-366, Division D. For FY2009 appropriations, amounts reflect enactment of P.L. 111-8 (FY2009 Omnibus Appropriations) and P.L. 111-5 (ARRA). For FY2010, amounts reflect the President's request, House passage of H.R. 3293, Senate committee recommendations on H.R. 3293, and enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (P.L. 111-117, H.R. 3288). FY2009 Comparable column also includes FY2009 funding for LIHEAP provided by P.L. 110-329 (September 2008). FY2009 Total column also includes supplemental funding for Refugee Assistance and for Pandemic Influenza Preparedness provided by P.L. 111-32 (June 2009). Appropriations are given only for programs included in the annual L-HHS-ED bill.
Note: Details may not add to totals due to rounding. Both FY2009 and FY2010 mandatory amounts are estimates that are subject to adjustments after the close of their respective fiscal years. All amounts in the table are subject to change through the enactment of further supplementals and rescissions.
The L-HHS-ED appropriations bills include both mandatory and discretionary funds; however, the Appropriations Committees fully control only the discretionary funds. Mandatory funding levels for programs included in the annual appropriations bills are modified through changes in the authorizing legislation. Typically, these changes are accomplished through authorizing committees by means of reconciliation legislation, and not through appropriations committees in annual appropriations bills.
Table 3 shows the trend in discretionary budget authority enacted in the regular L-HHS-ED appropriations for FY2002 through FY2010. During the past nine years, L-HHS-ED discretionary funds have grown from $127.2 billion in FY2002 to $165.8 billion in FY2010, an increase of $38.6 billion, or 30.3%.

Sources: L-HHS-ED totals for FY2002-FY2005 discretionary budget authority are based on annual conference reports for L-HHS-ED appropriations and, therefore, may not be completely comparable from year to year. Subsequent years are based on tables from the House Committee on Appropriations: FY2006 total from the April 17, 2007, table; FY2007 total from the December 17, 2007, table; FY2008 total from the March 2009 table; and FY2009 total (increased by the LIHEAP funding) and FY2010 total from the December 9, 2009, table. FY2009 total reflects only regular L-HHS-ED appropriations, and does not include the supplemental funding from ARRA or from P.L. 111-32.
The annual L-HHS-ED appropriations act typically includes five titles. The first three provide appropriations and program direction for the Department of Labor (Title I), the Department of Health and Human Services (Title II), and the Department of Education (Title III). Each of the three titles includes some sections of "General Provisions" for the department; they provide specific program directions, modifications, or restrictions that the appropriators wish to convey in bill language, not just in report language. Title IV covers funding for 13 related agencies, the largest of which is the Social Security Administration. Title V contains general provisions with broader policy application than those in the department titles. Occasionally, the act has one or more additional titles, which may be legislative (authorizing) language rather than appropriations provisions. The FY2008 L-HHS-ED appropriations act (Division G of P.L. 110-161) included a Title VI that provided for establishment of a National Commission on Children and Disasters, while the FY2009 L-HHS-ED appropriations act (Division F of P.L. 111-8) included the Afghan Allies Protection Act of 2009 (relating to special immigrant status of certain persons) as Title VI. The FY2010 act included only five titles.
Table 4 summarizes by title the program level discretionary spending that was provided for FY2009 and FY2010 L-HHS-ED appropriations and compares the program level totals with the current year discretionary totals.

Sources: Amounts are based the December 9, 2009, table from the House Committee on Appropriations and the conference report table in H.Rept. 111-366, Division D. For FY2009 appropriations, amounts reflect enactment of P.L. 111-8 (FY2009 Omnibus Appropriations) and P.L. 111-5 (ARRA). For FY2010, amounts reflect the President's request, House passage of H.R. 3293, Senate committee recommendations on H.R. 3293, and enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (P.L. 111-117, H.R. 3288). FY2009 Comparable column also includes FY2009 funding for LIHEAP provided by P.L. 110-329 (September 2008). FY2009 Total column also includes supplemental funding for Refugee Assistance and for Pandemic Influenza Preparedness provided by P.L. 111-32 (June 2009). Appropriations are given only for programs included in the annual L-HHS-ED bill. Details may not add to totals due to rounding.
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (Titles I-IX of P.L. 93-344), as amended, provided for a two-stage process through which the maximum budget authority for annual appropriations acts is determined (the two stages are named after sections of the Budget Act). In the first stage, Congress establishes the 302(a) allocations—the maximum spending totals for a given fiscal year that are allowed for each House and Senate committee with jurisdiction over spending legislation, including both authorizations and appropriations. This task is typically accomplished through the annual concurrent resolution on the budget, where spending totals are specified through the statement of managers in the conference report. In years when the House and Senate do not reach a budget agreement, these totals may be set through leadership arrangements in each chamber. The 302(a) allocations determine the spending totals for each of the various committees, including the total discretionary budget authority available for enactment in annual appropriations through the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations.
Congress reached agreement on the FY2010 budget resolution on April 29, 2009, when the Senate and the House agreed to the conference report (H.Rept. 111-89) accompanying S.Con.Res. 13. The resolution established 302(a) discretionary budget allocations to the Appropriations Committees of $1,082.5 billion for the House and $1,082.3 billion for the Senate. The resolution allowed the Budget Committees to increase those amounts if certain conditions relating to funding of specific programs were met. On June 3, 2009, the Budget Committees increased their 302(a) allocations by $3,766 million to $1,086.3 billion (House) and $1,086.0 billion (Senate). Subsequent additional adjustments have been made by both committees. For the purpose of comparison, the 302(a) discretionary allocation originally agreed to for FY2009 was $1,011.7 billion.
In the second stage of the annual congressional budget process, the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations separately establish the 302(b) allocations—the maximum discretionary budget authority available to each of the 12 subcommittees for each annual appropriations bill. The total of these allocations must not exceed the 302(a) discretionary total. This process creates the basis for enforcing discretionary budget discipline, since any appropriations bill reported with a total above the ceiling is subject to a point of order. The 302(b) allocations can and often do get adjusted during the year as the various appropriations bills progress toward final enactment. Table 5 shows the 302(b) discretionary allocations for the FY2010 L-HHS-ED appropriations determined by the House and Senate Committees on Appropriations, together with the comparable amount for the FY2009 appropriations. Both the 302(a) and 302(b) allocations regularly become contested issues in their own right.

Sources: The FY2010 House allocation is based on H.Rept. 111-238, July 30, 2009; the FY2010 Senate allocation is based on S.Rept. 111-109, December 16, 2009; the FY2010 Enacted allocation, and the comparable amount for FY2009 budget authority, are based on the December 9, 2009, table from House Appropriations Committee.
Advance appropriations occur when funds enacted in one fiscal year are not available for obligation until a subsequent fiscal year. For example, P.L. 110-161, which enacted FY2008 L-HHS-ED appropriations, provided $420 million for the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB) for use in FY2010. Advance appropriations may be used to meet several objectives. These might include the provision of long-term budget information to recipients, such as state and local educational systems, to enable better planning of future program activities and personnel levels. The more contentious aspect of advance appropriations, however, involves how they are counted in budget ceilings.
Advance appropriations avoid the 302(a) and 302(b) allocation ceilings for the current year, but must be counted in the year in which they first become available for obligation. This procedure uses up ahead of time part of what will be counted against the allocation ceiling in future years. For FY2002, President George W. Bush's budget proposed eliminating advance appropriations for federal discretionary programs, including those for L-HHS-ED programs. Congress rejected that idea, and the proposal has not been repeated. For more information, see CRS Report RS20441, Advance Appropriations, Forward Funding, and Advance Funding, by [author name scrubbed].
FY2009 discretionary appropriations for the Department of Labor (DOL) were $12,411 million. For FY2010, the Obama Administration requested $13,280 million, $869 million (7.0%) more than the FY2009 amount, as shown in Table 6. H.R. 3293, as approved by the House, included $13,256 million in discretionary funding, an increase of $845 million (6.8%) over FY2009. The Senate Appropriations Committee recommended $13,268 million in discretionary funding, $12 million more than approved by the House and an increase of $857 million (6.9%) over FY2009. The FY2010 conference agreement, as enacted in P.L. 111-117, provided discretionary appropriations of $13,534 million, an increase of $1,123 million (9.0%) over FY2009.

Sources: Amounts are based on the December 9, 2009, table from the House Committee on Appropriations and the conference report table in H.Rept. 111-366, Division D. For FY2009 appropriations, amounts reflect enactment of P.L. 111-8 (FY2009 Omnibus Appropriations) and P.L. 111-5 (ARRA). For FY2010, amounts reflect the President's request, House passage of H.R. 3293, Senate committee recommendations on H.R. 3293, and enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (P.L. 111-117, H.R. 3288). Appropriations are given only for programs included in the annual L-HHS-ED bill. Amounts represent discretionary spending funded by L-HHS-ED appropriations; funds for mandatory programs are excluded.
Mandatory DOL programs were funded at $2.7 billion for FY2010 and consist of Federal Unemployment Benefits and Allowances ($1,818 million), the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund ($300 million), Special Benefits for Disabled Coal Miners ($214 million), Employment Standards Administration (ESA) Special Benefits ($187 million), Advances to the Unemployment Insurance and Other Trust Funds ($120 million), and administrative expenses for the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Fund ($52 million).
The following are some highlights for DOL of President Obama's FY2010 budget request, the House bill, the Senate Appropriations Committee's recommendations, and the conference agreement, as enacted in P.L. 111-117. See Table 7 for details. All comparisons of funding levels with FY2009 appropriations are based on FY2009 regular appropriations only.
ARRA provided an additional $4.8 billion in discretionary funding for FY2009, some of which will be obligated in FY2010. DOL developed program-specific plans for spending the money, indicating how much it expected to obligate in FY2009 and FY2010. The plans are available at http://www.dol.gov/recovery, together with other DOL Recovery Act reports.
DOL budget materials may be found at http://www.dol.gov/dol/aboutdol/main.htm#budget.

Sources: Amounts are based on the December 9, 2009, table from the House Committee on Appropriations and the conference report table in H.Rept. 111-366, Division D. For FY2009 appropriations, amounts reflect enactment of P.L. 111-8 (FY2009 Omnibus Appropriations) and P.L. 111-5 (ARRA). For FY2010, amounts reflect the President's request, House passage of H.R. 3293, Senate committee recommendations on H.R. 3293, and enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (P.L. 111-117, H.R. 3288). Details may not add to totals due to rounding.
a. In his budget request for FY2010, the President proposed replacing the Community-Based Job Training Grants (CBJTG) program with the Career Pathways Innovation Fund. Congress accepted the change. The Career Pathways program will continue support for community college education, but fund programs with a sequence of coursework leading to a career in a particular field. In FY2009, CBJTG was funded under the Dislocated Worker National Reserve program. For FY2010, the Career Pathways program was funded as a national activity under the Workforce Investment Act (WIA).
b. Federal Unemployment Benefits and Allowances consist of funding for benefits and training for workers under the Trade Adjustment Assistance (TAA) program.
c. Before FY2009, appropriations for administrative and statutory activities under the Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program Act (EEOICPA) were in DOL, with some of the funding transferred to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) by interagency agreement. Starting in FY2009, CDC received direct appropriations (mandatory) for the activities; Part B administrative expenses remained in DOL.
d. FY2009 appropriations for the Black Lung Disability Trust Fund include funds to repay advances from the U.S. Treasury.
e. Appropriations totals include discretionary and mandatory spending and may be subject to additional scorekeeping and other adjustments.
FY2009 discretionary appropriations for the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) were $71,385 million. For FY2010, the Obama Administration requested $71,758 million, $373 million (0.5%) more than the FY2009 amount, as shown in Table 8. As passed by the House, H.R. 3293 included $73,722 million in discretionary funding, an increase of $2,337 million (3.3%) over FY2009. The Senate Appropriations Committee recommended $74,054 million in discretionary funding, $332 million more than approved by the House, and an increase of $2,669 million (3.7%) over FY2009. The FY2010 conference agreement, as enacted in P.L. 111-117, provided discretionary appropriations of $73,958 million, an increase of $2,573 million (3.6%) over FY2009.

Sources: Amounts are based on the December 9, 2009, table from the House Committee on Appropriations and the conference report table in H.Rept. 111-366, Division D. See Table 9 for more details on sources of FY2009 and FY2010 funding for HHS programs, including $7.7 billion in non-ARRA supplemental funding. Amounts represent discretionary spending funded by L-HHS-ED appropriations; funds for mandatory programs are excluded, as are funds for the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and the Indian Health Service (IHS). FDA and IHS are both agencies of HHS, but they are funded through other appropriations bills.
Mandatory HHS programs included in the L-HHS-ED act were funded at $529.8 billion in FY2010, and consist primarily of Medicaid Grants to States ($307.8 billion), Payments to Health Care Trust Funds ($207.3 billion, including Medicare Part B and Part D), Foster Care and Adoption Assistance State Payments ($7.4 billion), Family Support Payments to States ($4.7 billion), and the Social Services Block Grant ($1.7 billion). Note that some other large mandatory HHS programs are not funded through the L-HHS-ED act. The Children's Health Insurance Program (CHIP) and the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program receive their funding directly in authorizing statutes, while Medicare Part A is funded primarily through payroll taxes.
The following are some highlights for HHS of President Obama's FY2010 budget request, the House bill, the Senate Appropriations Committee's recommendations, and the conference agreement, as enacted in P.L. 111-117. See Table 9 for details. All comparisons of funding levels with FY2009 appropriations are based on FY2009 regular appropriations only.
ARRA provided HHS with an additional $21.9 billion in discretionary funding for FY2009, including $10.4 billion for NIH. Unlike most regular appropriations, ARRA made the stimulus funds available for obligation for two years, until the end of FY2010. HHS agencies developed implementation plans for spending the money, including expected obligations in FY2009 and FY2010. The plans are available at http://www.hhs.gov/recovery/reports/index.html, together with subsequent HHS Recovery Act reports on the funding.
HHS budget materials may be found at http://www.hhs.gov/asrt/ob/docbudget/.
Annual L-HHS-ED appropriations regularly contain restrictions that limit—for one year at a time—the circumstances under which federal funds can be used to pay for abortions. Restrictions on appropriated funds, popularly referred to as the "Hyde Amendments," generally apply to all L-HHS-ED funds. Medicaid is the largest program affected. As evidence of the perennial volatility of this issue, these provisions have been subject to periodic revision during the annual consideration of L-HHS-ED appropriations. From FY1977 to FY1993, abortions could be funded only when the life of the mother was endangered. The 103rd Congress modified the provisions to permit federal funding of abortions in cases of rape or incest. The FY1998 L-HHS-ED appropriations, P.L. 105-78, extended the Hyde provisions to prohibit the use of federal funds to buy managed care packages that include abortion coverage, except in the cases of rape, incest, or life endangerment. The FY1999 L-HHS-ED appropriations, P.L. 105-277, continued the FY1998 Hyde Amendments with two added provisions: (1) a clarification to ensure that the restrictions apply to all trust fund programs (namely, Medicare), and (2) an assurance that Medicare + Choice plans (now Medicare Advantage) cannot require the provision of abortion services. No changes were made from FY2000 through FY2004.
The FY2005 L-HHS-ED appropriations, P.L. 108-447 (H.Rept. 108-792, p. 1271), added a restriction, popularly referred to as the "Weldon Amendment," that prevents federal programs or state or local governments that receive L-HHS-ED funds from discriminating against health care entities that do not provide or pay for abortions or abortion services. The FY2006 through FY2010 L-HHS-ED appropriations retained the Weldon amendment language and the Hyde restrictions. The current provisions can be found in §507 and §508 of P.L. 111-117, Division D. For additional information, please see CRS Report RL33467, Abortion: Legislative Response, by [author name scrubbed].
On March 9, 2009, President Barack Obama signed an executive order that reversed the nearly eight-year-old Bush Administration restriction on federal funding for human embryonic stem cell research. Research using human embryonic stem cells raises ethical issues for some because embryos are destroyed in order to obtain embryonic stem cells. The Obama decision directed NIH to issue new guidelines for the conduct of embryonic stem cell research. Draft guidelines were released on April 23, 2009, and final guidelines were issued on July 6, 2009. In December 2009, NIH created a new registry of human embryonic stem cell lines that are eligible for use in research supported by federal funds under the 2009 guidelines. As of February 1, 2010, a total of 43 stem cell lines were listed in the new registry. Under the Bush Administration, only 21 cell lines were available for use in federally funded research.
In 1996, Congress prohibited NIH from using appropriated funds to create human embryos for research purposes or for research in which human embryos are destroyed (P.L. 104-99, §128). Since FY1997, annual appropriations acts have extended the prohibition to all L-HHS-ED funds, with NIH as the agency primarily affected. The restriction, popularly referred to as the "Dickey Amendment," has not changed significantly since it was first enacted. The current provision is found in §509 of P.L. 111-117, Division D. For additional information, please see CRS Report RL33540, Stem Cell Research: Federal Research Funding and Oversight, by [author name scrubbed] and [author name scrubbed].

Sources: Amounts are based on the December 9, 2009, table from the House Committee on Appropriations and the conference report table in H.Rept. 111-366, Division D. For FY2009 appropriations, amounts reflect enactment of P.L. 111-8 (FY2009 Omnibus Appropriations) and P.L. 111-5 (ARRA). For FY2010, amounts reflect the President's request, House passage of H.R. 3293, Senate committee recommendations on H.R. 3293, and enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (P.L. 111-117, H.R. 3288). FY2009 Comparable column also includes FY2009 funding for LIHEAP provided by P.L. 110-329 (September 2008) (see note c below). FY2009 Total column also includes supplemental funding for Refugee Assistance and for Pandemic Influenza Preparedness provided by P.L. 111-32 (June 2009) (see note d below). Details may not add to totals due to rounding.
a. Before FY2009, EEOICPA administrative and statutory activities were funded through DOL, with some of the funding transferred to CDC by interagency agreement. Starting in FY2009, CDC received direct appropriations (mandatory) for the activities; Part B administrative expenses remained in DOL.
b. Two HHS agencies received additional funds from Interior-Environment appropriations—CDC, $74 million for FY2009 and $77 million for FY2010, and NIH, $78 million for FY2009 and $79 million for FY2010. The amounts are not included in this table.
c. LIHEAP received no funding in the FY2009 Omnibus Appropriations Act because the FY2009 Continuing Appropriations Resolution (Division A of P.L. 110-329, enacted September 30, 2008) had provided full-year funding of $5,100 million for the program. The FY2009 Comparable and FY2009 Total columns throughout this report include the LIHEAP funding where appropriate.
d. The FY2009 Total column includes funding for two HHS programs that received FY2009 funding in June 2009 from the Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2009 (P.L. 111-32). The Refugee and Entrant Assistance program received $82 million for Unaccompanied Minors, and the Public Health and Social Services Emergency Fund received $7,650 million for Pandemic Influenza Preparedness, to remain available until expended.
e. The Disaster Relief and Recovery Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2008 (Division B of P.L. 110-329), provided FY2008 emergency supplemental appropriations of $600 million for the Social Services Block Grant, to remain available through FY2009. The amount is not reflected in the tables in this report.
f. No FY2010 funding was requested for the Community-Based Abstinence Education program in ACF. Instead, $110 million was requested in ACF for a new Teenage Pregnancy Prevention initiative. The House approved the proposal as requested. The Senate committee agreed to elimination of the ACF abstinence education program, but placed a new $100 million Teen Pregnancy Prevention program in the Office of the Secretary, to be administered by a newly established Office of Adolescent Health The conference agreement adopted the Senate approach, providing $110 million to the Office of the Secretary for the new initiative. This table shows all FY2010 amounts in the Office of the Secretary within the General Departmental Management account.
g. Appropriations totals include discretionary and mandatory funds, and may be subject to additional scorekeeping and other adjustments. Two HHS agencies were funded through other appropriations: the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) in Agriculture appropriations ($2.1 billion in FY2009 and $2.4 billion in FY2010), and the Indian Health Service (IHS) in Interior-Environment appropriations ($3.6 billion in FY2009 and $4.1 billion in FY2010). Neither agency is included in this table.
FY2009 discretionary appropriations for the Department of Education (ED) equaled $63,533 million. For FY2010, the Obama Administration requested $64,692 million, $1,159 million (1.8%) more than the FY2009 amount, as shown in Table 10. As passed by the House, H.R. 3293 included $64,674 million in discretionary funding, an increase of $1,141 million (1.8%) over FY2009. The Senate Appropriations Committee recommended $63,962 million in discretionary funding, $713 million less than approved by the House, and an increase of $428 million (0.7%) over FY2009. The FY2010 conference agreement, as enacted in P.L. 111-117, provided discretionary funding of $64,278 million, an increase of $744 million (1.2%) over FY2009.

Appropriations are given only for programs included in the annual L-HHS-ED bill. Amounts represent discretionary spending funded by L-HHS-ED appropriations; funds for mandatory programs are excluded.
A single mandatory ED program is included in the L-HHS-ED bill, the Vocational Rehabilitation State Grants program. It was provided funding of $3.1 billion in FY2010.
The following are some highlights for ED of President Obama's FY2010 budget request, the House bill, the Senate Appropriations Committee's recommendations, and the conference agreement, as enacted in P.L. 111-117. See Table 11 for details. All comparisons of funding levels with FY2009 appropriations are based on FY2009 regular appropriations only.
The President's FY2010 budget requested increased funding for several programs, and several new education programs were proposed. While President Obama's budget requested an increase in discretionary funding for education of $1.1 billion over the FY2009 funding level, it proposed eliminating funding for 12 existing programs.
ARRA provided an additional $98.2 billion in discretionary funding for FY2009. The Department has established an ARRA website that provides detailed guidance. See http://www.ed.gov/policy/gen/leg/recovery/index.html.
Department of Education budget materials may be found at http://www2.ed.gov/about/overview/budget/index.html.

Sources: Amounts are based on the December 9, 2009, table from the House Committee on Appropriations and the conference report table in H.Rept. 111-366, Division D. For FY2009 appropriations, amounts reflect enactment of P.L. 111-8 (FY2009 Omnibus Appropriations) and P.L. 111-5 (ARRA). For FY2010, amounts reflect the President's request, House passage of H.R. 3293, Senate committee recommendations on H.R. 3293, and enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (P.L. 111-117, H.R. 3288). Appropriations are given only for programs included in the annual L-HHS-ED bill. Details may not add to totals due to rounding.
a. The NCLB total reported in this table does not match the NCLB total reported by ED. ED only includes in its total programs that are authorized specifically by ESEA, as amended by the NCLBA, while the House and Senate include funding for the Education for Homeless Children and Youth, and Comprehensive Centers in their NCLB total. The former is authorized by the McKinney-Vento Homeless Assistance Act, and the latter is authorized by the Educational Technical Assistance Act. While both acts were amended by the NCLB (P.L. 107-110), none of the funding for either of the two programs is authorized by the NCLB.
b. The Administration proposed making the Pell Grant program mandatory, and as a consequence it no longer separated mandatory funding from discretionary funding. If the program had been made completely mandatory, the Administration's proposed maximum Pell grant for FY2010 would have been $5,500. For this table, for consistency, we use the House and Senate Appropriations Committee assumptions that the program would continue to have discretionary funding (along with mandatory funding appropriated in the College Cost Reduction and Access Act, P.L. 110-84).
c. For Pell Grant funding, the FY2010 budget request amount in this table is the amount displayed in the House Appropriations Committee table, reflecting the "current law baseline score" from the Congressional Budget Office. It differs from ED's total for the Pell Grant request, which reflected the Administration's FY2010 proposal to make Pell Grant funding mandatory. The House table assumed the continuation of discretionary funding.
d. "Department of Education, other" includes funding for two programs: College Housing and Academic Facilities Loans, and the Historically Black Colleges and Universities Capital Financing program.
e. Appropriations totals include discretionary and mandatory funds, and are subject to additional scorekeeping and other adjustments.
FY2009 discretionary appropriations for Related Agencies were $12,748 million. For FY2010, the Obama Administration requested $14,028 million, $1,280 million (10.0%) more than the FY2009 amount, as shown in Table 12. H.R. 3293, as passed by the House, included $13,989 million in discretionary funding, an increase of $1,240 million (9.7%) over FY2009. The Senate Appropriations Committee recommended $14,067 million in discretionary funding, $79 million more than approved by the House, and an increase of $1,319 million (10.3%) over FY2009. The FY2010 conference agreement, as enacted in P.L. 111-117, provided discretionary appropriations of $14,076 million, an increase of $1,328 million (10.4%) over FY2009.

Appropriations are given only for programs included in the annual L-HHS-ED bill. Amounts represent discretionary spending funded by L-HHS-ED appropriations; funds for mandatory programs are excluded.
Mandatory programs for Related Agencies included in the L-HHS-ED bill were funded at $47.3 billion for FY2010, virtually all of it for the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program.
The following are some highlights for Related Agencies of President Obama's FY2010 budget request, the House bill, the Senate Appropriations Committee's recommendations, and the conference agreement, as enacted in P.L. 111-117. See Table 13 for details. All comparisons of funding levels with FY2009 appropriations are based on FY2009 regular appropriations only.
The ARRA provided an additional $1.2 billion in discretionary funding for Related Agencies in FY2009, a portion of which will be obligated in FY2010. Both SSA and NCSP have developed implementation plans for spending the money. The plans for SSA and NCSP are available at http://www.ssa.gov/recovery and http://www.nationalservice.gov/about/recovery/index.asp, respectively.

Sources: Amounts are based on the December 9, 2009, table from the House Committee on Appropriations and the conference report table in H.Rept. 111-366, Division D. For FY2009 appropriations, amounts reflect enactment of P.L. 111-8 (FY2009 Omnibus Appropriations) and P.L. 111-5 (ARRA). For FY2010, amounts reflect the President's request, House passage of H.R. 3293, Senate committee recommendations on H.R. 3293, and enactment of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2010 (P.L. 111-117, H.R. 3288). Appropriations are given only for programs included in the annual L-HHS-ED bill. Details may not add to totals due to rounding.
a. The Social Security trust funds are considered off-budget, but the Supplemental Security Income (SSI) program, SSA administrative expenses, and certain related SSA activities are included in appropriations for L-HHS-ED and Related Agencies.
b. Appropriations totals include discretionary and mandatory spending, and are subject to additional scorekeeping and other adjustments.
The following items include some of the key budget terms used in this report; they are based on CRS Report 98-720, Manual on the Federal Budget Process, by [author name scrubbed] and Allen Schick (pdf). The websites provide general information on the federal budget and appropriations.
Advance appropriation is budget authority that will become available in a fiscal year beyond the fiscal year for which the appropriations act is enacted; scorekeeping counts the entire amount in the fiscal year it first becomes available for obligation.
Appropriation is budget authority that permits federal agencies to incur obligations and to make payments out of the Treasury for specified purposes. Appropriations represent the amounts that agencies may obligate during the period of time specified in the law. Annual appropriations are provided in appropriations acts; most permanent appropriations are provided in substantive law. Major types of appropriations are regular, supplemental, and continuing.
Budget authority is legal authority to incur financial obligations that normally result in the outlay of federal government funds. Major types of budget authority are appropriations, borrowing authority, and contract authority. Budget authority also includes the subsidy cost to the federal government of direct loans and loan guarantees, estimated on a net present value basis.
Budget resolution is a concurrent resolution passed by both chambers of Congress, but not requiring the signature of the President, setting forth the congressional budget for at least five fiscal years. It includes various budget totals and functional allocations.
Discretionary spending is budget authority provided in annual appropriations acts, other than appropriated entitlements.
Entitlement authority is the authority to make payments to persons, businesses, or governments that meet the eligibility criteria established by law; as such, it represents a legally binding obligation on the part of the federal government. Entitlement authority may be funded by either annual or permanent appropriations acts.
Forward funding is budget authority that becomes available after the beginning of the fiscal year for which the appropriation is enacted and remains available into the next fiscal year; the entire amount is counted or scored in the fiscal year in which it first becomes available.
Mandatory (direct) spending is budget authority provided in laws other than annual appropriations acts, including appropriated entitlements.
Rescission is the cancellation of budget authority previously enacted.
Scorekeeping is a set of procedures for tracking and reporting on the status of congressional budgetary actions.
Supplemental appropriation is budget authority provided in an appropriations act that provides funds that are in addition to regular appropriations.
