Notes
All years referred to in describing the budgetary effects of changes in the economy are federal fiscal years, which run from October 1 to September 30 and are designated by the calendar year in which they end. Years referred to in describing estimated changes to the economy are calendar years.
To provide Congress with a comprehensive review of its work, the Congressional Budget Office publishes quarterly reports that highlight the agency’s recent publications and summarize its work in progress.1 Over the past three months, CBO has produced a variety of budget and economic analyses, fulfilling the agency’s mission of supporting Congress during each stage of the legislative process. The agency’s work takes many forms, including technical assistance to committees and Members when they are crafting legislation, cost estimates of legislation, testimonies, reports, and other analytical products.
Recent Cost Estimates
Through its technical assistance and cost estimates, CBO provides Congress with information about the effects of proposed legislation on the federal budget. The agency is required by law to prepare a cost estimate for nearly every bill that is approved by a full Congressional committee of the House of Representatives or the Senate. The agency publishes cost estimates at other stages of the legislative process, too, if requested to do so by a relevant committee or by Congressional leadership. CBO also estimates the budgetary effects of bills scheduled to be considered under suspension of the rules in the House, a procedure sometimes used to consider legislation on the House floor in an expedited manner.2
This past quarter, the agency published 263 cost estimates, including the following:
- A cost estimate for H.R. 2102, the Major Richard Star Act, which would permit Chapter 61 retirees—service members who have retired from the armed forces because of a disability—to receive the full amount of both their military retired pay and their veterans’ disability compensation;
- A cost estimate for H.R. 7008, the Stop Insider Trading Act, which would prohibit Members of Congress and their spouses and dependent children from buying certain financial assets while the Member is in office;
- A cost estimate for H.R. 2641, the Day 1, Dollar 1 E-Verify Act, which would require all federal contractors and their subcontractors to use E-Verify, a federal web-based system that allows public- and private-sector employers to confirm that newly hired employees are eligible to work in the United States;
- A cost estimate for S. 3249, the Strategic Subsea Cables Act of 2026, which would direct the Administration to protect the global network of undersea fiber-optic cables and other critical undersea infrastructure;
- A cost estimate for H.R. 7148, the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026, which would provide full-year appropriations and authorities for fiscal year 2026 for agencies covered by 3 of the 12 annual appropriation acts;
- A cost estimate for H.R. 7006, the Financial Services and General Government and National Security, Department of State, and Related Programs Appropriations Act, 2026, which would provide full-year appropriations and authorities for fiscal year 2026 for agencies covered by 2 of the 12 annual appropriation acts;
- A cost estimate for S. 2975, the PIPELINE Safety Act of 2025, which would reauthorize the pipeline safety programs of the Pipeline and Hazardous Materials Safety Administration through 2030;
- A cost estimate for S. 836, the Children and Teens’ Online Privacy Protection Act, which would amend provisions of the Children’s Online Privacy Protection Act to establish new protections for children under the age of 13 and to extend protections to teenagers under the age of 17;
- A cost estimate for H.R. 3492, the Protect Children’s Innocence Act, which would create new criminal penalties for providing certain surgeries and drug treatments to minors that assist with them in transitioning genders (sometimes referred to as gender-affirming care); and
- A cost estimate for H.R. 3380, the TAILOR Act of 2025, which would require federal financial regulatory agencies to limit the burden of financial regulations by tailoring regulatory actions to the relevant institutions on the basis of their risk profiles and business models.
Recent Analytical Reports
In addition to cost estimates, CBO has released 29 reports, testimonies, and other analytical products since publishing its last quarterly report on the agency’s work in progress (see Table 1).
Table 1.
Selected Analytical Publications From CBO: January 1, 2026, Through March 31, 2026
Notes
Data source: Congressional Budget Office.
Selected publications may include testimonies, reports, working papers, slide decks, modeling tools, and infographics published by CBO.
Notably, CBO continued to bolster its efforts to be transparent about its methods and data. As part of those efforts, the agency posted on its website a blog post announcing its plan to publish additional computer code on its GitHub page that offers a closer look at the modeling underlying its analyses. CBO also released presentations that were given by the agency’s staff, as well as updated models and code. This past quarter, the agency posted 16 new code repositories, including one for projecting the budgetary effects of tariffs, one for calculating discount factors from CBO’s forecasts of Treasury yields, one for modeling the effects of changes in permitting requirements on private investment, and one for analyzing state-level quarterly unemployment rates and their implications for Unemployment Insurance Extended Benefits eligibility. The agency also updated 3 repositories, including one for generating inflation factors that are used in its health insurance simulation model.
A number of products provided an analysis of or information about the nation’s budgetary and economic situation:
- CBO’s annual report presenting the budget and economic outlook, along with a companion slide deck highlighting key findings about the outlook for the economy, press briefing slides, and the Director’s statement and testimony before the Senate;

In addition, each month since the previous edition of the agency’s Work in Progress, CBO has issued its Monthly Budget Review of federal spending and revenues for the preceding month and the fiscal year to date. The agency also published testimony before the House regarding its upcoming appropriation request for fiscal year 2027, with Senate testimony forthcoming.
Two recurring reports provided information about the agency’s baseline projections:
- A report examining the accuracy of the agency’s budget projections for fiscal year 2025 and
- A report detailing CBO’s long-term demographic projections.
Other products explained analytical methods that CBO uses in its work, supplied background information about that work, or provided Congress with analyses of policy issues:

CBO also responded to questions and requests for information from Members of Congress:
- Answers to questions for the record following a hearing on oversight of CBO,
- A letter estimating the costs associated with federal deployments of National Guard personnel to U.S. cities, and
- A letter estimating the costs of using the name “Department of War.”
Work in Progress
As of March 31, 2026, CBO was preparing 282 cost estimates, nearly all of which are for legislation that has been approved by a committee (see Table 2). The agency was also working on 28 analytical products that it expects to complete in the coming months.

Notes
Data source: Congressional Budget Office.
Legislation that appears more than once has been ordered reported by multiple committees in one chamber or by both the House and the Senate.
1. For previous editions of this report, see www.cbo.gov/taxonomy/term/3/recurring-reports. To receive the Quarter in Review newsletter that accompanies each report in this series, readers can submit their email address under “Stay Connected” at the bottom of any page on CBO’s website.
2. In addition, the agency prepares cost estimates when a bill is the subject of a motion to be placed on the Consensus Calendar—an alternative route to the floor for certain House bills and resolutions that have broad bipartisan support.
The Congressional Budget Office prepares this report each quarter to help keep Congress informed about the agency’s work. Jing Guo prepared this edition with guidance from Leigh Angres and with contributions from many people at CBO. Jeffrey Kling reviewed the report, and Michael Fialkowski edited it.
The report is available at www.cbo.gov/publication/62155. CBO seeks feedback to make its work as useful as possible. Please send comments to communications@cbo.gov.
