S.6
Putting Our Veterans Back to Work Act of 2013
As ordered reported by the Senate Committee on Veterans'Affairs on July 24, 2013
SUMMARY
S. 6 would create or modify programs that provide employment opportunities, employment
training, rehabilitative training services, and employment and reemployment protections to
veterans and servicemembers.
CBO estimates that enacting the bill would increase direct spending by about $1.1 billion
over the 2014-2023 period. Because the bill would affect direct spending, pay-as-you-go
procedures apply. Enacting S. 6 would have an insignificant effect on revenues.
In addition, CBO estimates that implementing S. 6 would have discretionary costs of about
$1.4 billion over the 2014-2018 period, assuming appropriation of the specified and
estimated amounts.
The bill would impose intergovernmental and private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA) because it would require public and private
individuals to comply with civil investigative orders pertaining to the Uniformed Services
Employment and Reemployment Rights Act (USERRA). CBO estimates that the costs to
comply with the mandate would be small and would not exceed the annual thresholds for
intergovernmental or private-sector mandates ($75 million and $150 million in 2013,
respectively, adjusted annually for inflation).
ESTIMATED COST TO THE FEDERAL GOVERNMENT
The estimated budgetary impact of S. 6 is shown in Table 1. The costs of this legislation
fall within budget functions 450 (community and regional development), 500 (education,
training, employment, and social services), 700 (veterans benefits and services), and 750
(administration of justice).
