To provide the Congress with a comprehensive review of its work, the Congressional Budget
Office publishes quarterly reports, like this one, highlighting recent work and summarizing work
in progress.1
A Brief Look at 2022
In calendar year 2022, CBO fulfilled thousands of requests for technical assistance, published 775
cost estimates and 81 reports, working papers, and other analytic products.
For example, CBO provided technical assistance and estimates at every stage of the legislative
process for the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2023 (Public Law 117-328), the 2022
reconciliation act (Public Law 117-169), the Honoring Our PACT Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-168),
and the CHIPS Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-167)-with the goal of providing information when it was
most useful to the Congress.
CBO released a set of budget and economic projections in May and its annual long-term budget
projections in July. Those projections were used as benchmarks for many of the analytic reports,
working papers, and other documents published by the agency. Last year, publications examined
topics such as the opioid crisis and policy responses, the effect of imposing charges for methane
emissions, the effect of work requirements on the income and employment of recipients of
means-tested benefits, and the budgetary cost of suspending student loan payments, along with
many other topics. CBO aimed to promote a thorough understanding of those products by clearly
presenting the analyses and explaining the basis for them.
Recent Work
Over the past three months, CBO has provided a variety of budget and economic analyses,
fulfilling the agency's core mission of supporting the Congress during each stage of the
legislative process.
The agency published 187 cost estimates for legislation that was reported by a committee or that
was the subject of a motion to be placed on the consensus calendar. A number of cost estimates
were for bills that would increase funding for services provided to veterans. They included an
estimate for H.R. 6823, the Elizabeth Dole Home and Community Based Services for Veterans
and Caregivers Act of 2022, which would increase funding for long-term care and other services
to support veterans, and an estimate for H.R. 3693, the VA Continuing Professional Education
