ESTIMATES


      Congressional Budget Office
Nonpartisan Analysis for the U.S. Congress

                  February 2020


The  Congress   uses CBO's  cost estimates  to help it implement rules and  procedures  related to
budget  enforcement.   CBO's  cost estimates  provide information  about how  a bill would affect major
components of   the federal budget   and details about CBO's   analysis-the  reasoning,  analytical
methods,  and  sources  of data used  to develop  the estimate, as well as any sources  of uncertainty.

The following questions are
answered:

   Do procedures specified

   As-You-Go (PAYGO) Act
   of 2010 apply?

   Will the bill increase

   deficits?

   Reform Act (UMPA)?

General Information. The bill number, title, and legislative status are shown. Most estimates are for
bills that have been ordered reported by a full committee. The same bill number may appear on
different estimates when a bill is considered by more than one committee or when CBO provides an
estimate for legislation that has been passed by one chamber and is awaiting action in the other. The
date in the upper right corner shows when CBO published the estimate.
