Division A of the Further Additional Continuing Appropriations and Other Extensions Act, 2024, would provide for the continuation of certain appropriations and authorities contained in divisions A through N of the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328). That division would extend appropriations and authorities under the jurisdiction of four Appropriations Subcommittees through March 1, 2024. Appropriations and authorities under the jurisdiction of the other eight Subcommittees would be extended through March 8, 2024. Estimates for that legislation, shown in Table 1, are annualized--that is, estimated as if appropriations were provided for the entire fiscal year.
Division B would extend various provisions and authorities of the Department of Health and Human Services and reduce amounts available for the Medicaid Improvement Fund and the Medicare Improvement Fund. CBO’s estimates of the budgetary effects of division B are summarized in Table 2. In keeping with title III of division B, direction of the Senate Committee on the Budget, that division is considered authorizing legislation.
