Continues federal funding into FY2023. It also provides emergency supplemental aid for Ukraine, creates a FEMA claims program for the Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon fires, extends many health and veterans authorities, and reauthorizes FDA user fees through mid‑decade. - Households, disaster survivors, and communities: Funds $1.0 billion for Low Income Home Energy Assistance and transfers $2.5 billion to FEMA for Hermit’s Peak/Calf Canyon claims, while adding crisis services and refugee/entrant assistance. - Veterans and VA users: Extends numerous VA health and benefits authorities, including hospital and nursing home care copayment and service rules through 2024, with other program authorities extended into 2026. - Defense, Ukraine, and oversight: Provides emergency defense and security aid for Ukraine, including $3.0 billion for the Ukraine Security Assistance Initiative and $4.5 billion in direct economic support, and increases reporting, end‑use monitoring, and inspector oversight across transfers and programs.
117-hr-1437, Further Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2023
Keeps federal programs running temporarily by extending authorities and deadlines through late December 2022. It also makes targeted funding adjustments, extends health and FDA programs, suspends a limited cybersecurity provision during the covered period, and creates a new federal framework for precipitation science.
117-hr-5545, REMOTE Act
Extends key COVID-era VA education authorities through June 1, 2022. It also clarifies how schools participate, adds a finishing-time or “rounding-out” rule for students near program completion, and tweaks administrative and budget-related items.
117-hr-1448, PAWS for Veterans Therapy Act
This law creates a Department of Veterans Affairs pilot to provide canine training therapy for veterans diagnosed with post‑traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). The pilot must start within 180 days, run five years, and operate at at least five VA medical centers in geographically diverse locations, and the law also requires the VA to provide a commercially available veterinary insurance policy for dogs given to eligible veterans. - Veterans: Eligible veterans with PTSD can join a program that trains them to work with service dogs and may adopt a trained dog if it is clinically appropriate. Participation does not stop veterans from getting other VA PTSD care. - Service dog training organizations: The VA may contract with accredited nongovernmental trainers. Contracts must require certified instructors, forbid shock or prong collars, use positive reinforcement, prevent unsupervised access to trained dogs, tailor training to PTSD symptoms, and provide follow‑up support including lifelong help if adoption occurs. - Oversight and evidence: The VA will collect data on participation, veteran satisfaction, and clinical improvements. The VA must arrange a Government Accountability Office briefing within one year of the pilot start and a GAO report within 270 days after the pilot ends.
117-hr-3537, Accelerating Access to Critical Therapies for ALS Act
Accelerating access to investigational therapies for ALS by funding research that uses data from expanded access programs while protecting clinical trial enrollment and improving equity.
117-hr-3076, Postal Service Reform Act of 2022
Postal Service Health Benefits Program creates a USPS-specific health plan inside the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program and pairs that change with Medicare coordination and stronger postal oversight. The law also lets USPS offer new nonpostal services to raise revenue and requires much more public performance and cost transparency. - USPS employees and annuitants get a dedicated FEHB program with standard enrollment choices (self, self plus one, self and family), a transitional open season, and Medicare rules that include a special six-month Part B enrollment window beginning April 1, 2024 with coverage starting January 1, 2025; most Medicare-covered annuitants must have Part A and Part B to enroll, with specific grandfathered exceptions. - State, local, and tribal governments can buy property or nonpostal services from USPS for public, noncommercial purposes if the agreements reimburse at least 100 percent of attributable costs each year and follow new public posting and Governor-approval rules. - Oversight and performance changes require a weekly public dashboard, a PRC review of cost attribution, an Inspector General audit of PRC data, a Flats operations study with a 6-month remediation plan, and specified FY2022 funding: $7.5 million to CMS, $16.0 million to SSA, and $70.5 million to OPM. The law provides $94.0 million in FY2022 to federal agencies and requires USPS to deposit an equal amount into the Treasury, making the FY2022 transactions roughly budget-neutral.
