1 The 2022 actual and 2023 enacted levels include changes that occur after appropriations are enacted that are part of budget execution such as transfers, reestimates, and the rebasing as mandatory any changes in mandatory programs (CHIMPS) enacted in appropriations bills. The 2022 and 2023 levels are adjusted to add back OMB's scoring of CHIMPS enacted in 2022 and 2023 appropriations Acts for a better illustrative comparison with the 2024 request levels.
2 The 2023 enacted levels for base funding include the $12.5 billion primarily for base activities that was designated as emergency funding in Public Law 117-328.
3Funding for Food for Peace Title II Grants is included in the State and International Programs total. Although the funds are appropriated to the Department of Agriculture, the funds are administered by the U.S. Agency for International Development (USAID).
4Funding from the Hospital Insurance and Supplementary Medical Insurance trust funds for administrative expenses incurred by the Social Security Administration that support the Medicare program are included in the Health and Human Services total and not in the Social Security Administration total.
5The State and International Programs total includes funding for the Department of State, USAID, Treasury International, and 11 international agencies while the Treasury total excludes Treasury's International Programs.
6In addition to discretionary funding, the 2024 Budget includes mandatory funding for veterans medical care, research, and benefits delivery through the Cost of War Toxic Exposures Fund, in accordance with the Sergeant First Class Heath Robinson Honoring our Promise to Address Comprehensive Toxics Act of 2022.
7The EPA base total does not include additional resources for the Superfund program from tax revenue in 2023 and 2024 provided through provisions in the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the Inflation Reduction Act as these amounts are reflected as emergency funding in the allocation adjustment section. Total budget resources for the Superfund program would be approximately $2.9 billion in 2024, compared to the $1.7 billion available in 2023.
8The limitation enacted and proposed in the Justice Department's Crime Victims Fund program and preclusions in the Children's Health Insurance Program in HHS make up the bulk of these offsets.
