H.R. 3449
A bill to amend the Immigration and Nationality Act to extend
honorary citizenship to otherwise qualified noncitizens who enlisted
in the Philippines and died while serving on active duty with the
United States Armed Forces during certain periods of hostilities,
and for other purposes
As ordered reported by the House Committee on the Judiciary on September 17, 2015
H.R. 3449 would grant posthumous U.S. citizenship to certain individuals who served in
the United States Armed Forces in the Philippines and died during the period beginning
September 1, 1939, and ending December 31, 1946. The bill would not provide any federal
benefits to surviving relatives of those individuals. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3449
would result in no significant cost to the federal government because we expect there
would be few applications for posthumous citizenship. Under the bill there would be no fee
to apply for posthumous citizenship, however, the Department of Homeland Security
would spend fees collected for other immigration services, without future appropriation, to
process those applications. Because enacting the bill would affect direct spending,
pay-as-you-go procedures apply. Enacting the bill would not affect revenues.
H.R. 3449 contains no intergovernmental or private-sector mandates as defined in the
Unfunded Mandates Reform Act and would not affect the budgets of state, local, or tribal
governments.
The CBO staff contact for this estimate is Mark Grabowicz. The estimate was approved by
H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
