SUMMARY
S. 944 would expand health services offered by the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA),
increase certain fees for guaranteeing home loans, enhance education benefits, and make
other changes to compensation and employment benefits. In total, CBO estimates that
implementing the bill would have a discretionary cost of $171 million over the 2014-2018
period, assuming appropriation of the specified and estimated amounts.
In addition, CBO estimates that enacting the bill would decrease net direct spending by
$94 million over the 2014-2023 period; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures apply to the
bill. Enacting S. 944 would not affect revenues.
S. 944 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA).
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The estimated budgetary impact of S. 944 is summarized in Table 1. The costs of this
legislation fall within budget function 700 (veterans benefits and services).
