In the event that annual appropriation acts are not enacted by October 1 of each fiscal year,
S. 1877 would provide mandatory  appropriations to continue federal government operations
at the same rate as in the previous fiscal year. For this estimate, CBO assumes that under
S. 1877 each agency would  automatically receive an appropriation of the same amount as in
the previous fiscal year.

In addition, official travel by certain individuals in the executive and legislative branch
would  be prohibited while automatic appropriations are in effect, except for travel to return
to Washington, DC;  the bill also would direct that salaries of Members of Congress not be
paid (placed in escrow) until all annual appropriation acts are enacted.

S. 1877 would  appropriate funds, and thus would increase direct spending. For fiscal year
2019, the Congress appropriated about $1.4 trillion for federal agency operations and
activities; the Congress has also appropriated about $0.1 trillion for fiscal year 2020 for those
purposes. Thus, to maintain the same spending level as in 2019, S. 1877 would provide
appropriations totaling $1.3 trillion in 2020 and $1.4 trillion in each subsequent year, CBO
estimates. Based on historical spending patterns, CBO estimates that new direct spending
from those appropriations would total $0.7 trillion in 2020 and $12.2 trillion over the 2020-
2029 period.
