Estimated Budgetary Effects of Title XII, Committee on Veterans Affairs, H.R. 5376, Build Back Better Act

CBO estimates that enacting this title would result in direct spending outlays totaling $4.8 billion over the 2022-2031 period. We estimate that the Department of Veterans Affairs would not spend all of the budget authority that would be provided by title XII.

This estimate is based on language in two documents, which are available from the House Committee on Rules:

Rules Committee Print 117-18, Text of H.R. 5376, Build Back Better Act

Rules Committee Print 117-18, Yarmuth Amendment 112
