## Provisions PRIA read

- Government funding extended to February 18: benefit, high. The law keeps the government funded through February 18, 2022. It treats both the first and second fiscal quarters as covered. It also updates related dates, including for the Universal Service fund, to match the new deadline. This prevents a lapse in services during the extension.
- Foreign aid limit raised to $200 million: benefit, high. For the period of this law, a key foreign assistance authority doubles from $100 million to $200 million. This increases resources for authorized emergency aid.
- More FY2022 funding for key programs: benefit, high. The law adds $1.6 billion for fiscal year 2022 for the account named in section 141. That money stays available through September 30, 2024. It also raises two other funding totals to $44.838 million and $4.547 million.
- SNAP rules extended to February 18: benefit, medium. The law moves SNAP timing references to February 18, 2022. This keeps current SNAP rules tied to that date in place through the extension.
- Territorial Medicaid boost through February 18: benefit, medium. The law extends a higher federal Medicaid match for certain U.S. territories until February 18, 2022. Territorial Medicaid programs receive more federal support during this time, helping keep services steady.
- Fentanyl controls extended to February 18: benefit, medium. The law keeps federal scheduling of fentanyl-related substances in place until February 18, 2022. This supports law enforcement and public health in limiting dangerous synthetic opioids.
- Disaster medical staffing authority extended: benefit, low. The law extends authority to appoint National Disaster Medical System staff until February 18, 2022. This helps keep medical teams ready for emergencies.
- Extra criminal court fee extended: cost, low. The law extends an added criminal court assessment through February 18, 2022. People who are subject to this fee must keep paying it during the extension.
- Medicare Improvement Fund cut $13 million: cost, low. The law lowers the Medicare Improvement Fund from $69 million to $56 million. This reduces the dollars available in that fund by $13 million.
- PAYGO scorecards ignore these costs: mixed, medium. The law tells budget scorekeepers not to record this division’s costs on PAYGO scorecards. OMB and Congress also do not use these costs for certain allocation rules.
- Federal worker pay rules updated: mixed, low. The law updates certain federal pay rules to later calendar years. The changes start the first day of the first pay period on or after January 1, 2022. Effects vary by job because the updates shift how earlier rules apply.
- Earlier funding rider is repealed: mixed, low. The law repeals Section 533 of a 2020 funding law for this period. Any rules or programs that depended on that section do not apply while this act covers it.
