To provide the Congress with a comprehensive review of its work, the Congressional Budget
Office publishes quarterly reports, like this one, highlighting recent work and summarizing work
in progress.1
Recent Work
Over the past three months, CBO has provided a variety of budget and economic analyses,
fulfilling the agency's core mission of supporting the Congress during each stage of the
legislative process.
The agency has published 205 cost estimates for legislation that was reported by a committee or
that was the subject of a motion to be placed on the consensus calendar. One of those cost
estimates was for the 2022 reconciliation act (Public Law 117-169). That publication included
estimates for roughly 150 different provisions, including ones putting in place a new alternative
minimum tax on corporations, additional funding for the Internal Revenue Service, a requirement
that Medicare negotiate prices of certain prescription drugs, enhancement of health insurance
subsidies established by the Affordable Care Act, and subsidies for renewable energy. Another
cost estimate was for a law that addresses various matters related to veterans who were exposed
to toxic substances during military service, the Honoring Our PACT Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-168).
In addition, CBO estimated the cost of a law that provides funds to support the domestic
production of semiconductors and authorizes various programs and activities of the federal
science agencies, the CHIPS Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-167).
Aside from cost estimates of legislation, CBO released estimates of the costs of the President's
executive actions that suspend student loan payments and cancel some student loan debt.
Since its last quarterly report on work in progress, CBO has released 18 reports, working papers,
and other analytic products (see Table 1 on page 5). Some of those publications provided analysis
of the economic and budgetary situation.
On July 27, the agency published its budget projections and economic forecast for the next
30 years in The 2022 Long-Term Budget Outlook. Along with that report, the agency provided a
description of its population projections that underlie both the baseline budget projections and
economic forecast that CBO published in May 2022 and its long-term projections.
