S. 2389, A bill to deem the submission of certain claims to an Indian Health Service contracting officer as timely
Cost EstimateAugust 7, 2012
As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Indian Affairs on June 28, 2012

S. 2389 would amend federal law regarding certain health care claims submitted to the Indian Health Service (IHS). Specifically, the bill would deem certain claims submitted to an IHS contracting officer on or before October 31, 2005, involving a claim that accrued between October 1, 1995, and September 30, 1999, to have been submitted within the period specified by the statute of limitations.
S. 285, an act for the relief of Sopuruchi Chukwueke
Cost EstimateAugust 3, 2012
As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on August 1, 2012

S. 285 would make Sopuruchi Chukwueke eligible for permanent U.S. residence. The act would affect only one person and could have a very small effect on fees collected by the Department of Homeland Security and thus would affect direct spending. Therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. CBO estimates, however, that enacting S. 285 would have no significant impact on the federal budget.
