A concurrent resolution setting forth the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2027 and setting forth the appropriate budgetary levels for fiscal years 2028 through 2036.

This concurrent resolution formally establishes the congressional budget for the United States Government for fiscal year 2027 and sets forth the appropriate budgetary levels for the subsequent fiscal years, extending through 2036. It serves as a comprehensive framework for federal spending and revenue, guiding legislative actions over the specified decade. The resolution details specific recommended levels for key budgetary components. For fiscal year 2027, it projects federal revenues at approximately $4.48 trillion , new budget authority at $5.97 trillion , and total budget outlays at $6.08 trillion , resulting in a projected deficit of approximately $1.60 trillion . These figures, along with projected public debt and debt held by the public, are also provided for each fiscal year up to 2036, indicating a continuous increase in all categories over the period. Beyond overall totals, the resolution allocates new budget authority and outlays across 21 major functional categories for each fiscal year from 2027 to 2036. These categories include significant areas such as National Defense, International Affairs, Health, Medicare, Income Security, Social Security, and Veterans Benefits and Services. Detailed figures are provided for each, illustrating the planned distribution of federal resources. A crucial component of the resolution involves reconciliation instructions for both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Various committees in each chamber are directed to submit recommendations for changes in laws within their jurisdictions by September 11, 2026. These changes are constrained by specific limits on how much they can increase the deficit over the 2027-2036 period, with examples including the House and Senate Armed Services Committees each limited to a $60 billion deficit increase. The resolution also establishes reserve funds for reconciliation legislation, allowing the chairs of the House and Senate Budget Committees to adjust budgetary allocations as needed to accommodate the effects of such legislation, provided it complies with the reconciliation instructions. This mechanism ensures flexibility in implementing the budget framework. Furthermore, it addresses the budgetary treatment of administrative expenses for entities like the Social Security Administration and the Postal Service. Additional provisions cover the enforcement of budgetary levels, adjustments to reflect changes in budgetary concepts and definitions, and modifications for updates to the Congressional Budget Office's baseline. Specific adjustments are outlined for the House of Representatives concerning emergency requirements, disaster relief, wildfire suppression, health care fraud and abuse control, continuing disability reviews, and reemployment services. These allow for certain spending to be excluded from standard budgetary counts under defined conditions. Finally, the resolution asserts that its provisions are adopted as an exercise of the rulemaking powers of the Senate and the House of Representatives. This means they function as internal rules for each chamber, which can be changed at any time by that respective body, ensuring congressional autonomy over its procedural guidelines.
