H.R. 91, Building Supportive Networks for Women Veterans Act 1 (May 20, 2017)

handle is hein.congrec/cbo3558 and id is 1 raw text is: CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE May 20, 2017 H.R. 91 Building Supportive Networks for Women Veterans Act As ordered reported by the House Committee on Veterans' Affairs on May 17, 2017 H.R. 91 would require the Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) to establish a permanent program that provides counseling in group retreat settings to certain women veterans who have recently separated from military service. The bill also would require the VA to submit to the Congress a biennial report on the outcomes of the program. VA is completing the final year of a pilot program that provides similar services to women veterans. According to VA, roughly 270 women participated in the program at 12 retreats over the 2011-2016 period at an average cost of $3,400 per participant. On the basis of information from VA, CBO expects that the department would use the authority provided under H.R. 91 to hold six retreats a year. CBO estimates that implementing this program would cost $3 million over the 2018-2022 period after accounting for anticipated inflation; such spending would be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. Enacting the legislation would not affect direct spending or revenues; therefore, pay-as-you-go procedures do not apply. CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 91 would not increase net direct spending or on-budget deficits in any of the four consecutive 10-year periods beginning in 2028. H.R. 91 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 Ann E. Futrell. The estimate was approved by H. Samuel Papenfuss, Deputy Assistant Director for Budget Analysis.
