## Provisions PRIA read

- Federal workers avoid furloughs: benefit, high. Agencies can use funds for civilian pay at the rate needed to avoid furloughs. They must first cut or delay non-personnel administrative costs. This keeps federal workers on the job and paid through November 17, 2023.
- More money for disaster relief: benefit, high. FEMA gets $16 billion more for the Disaster Relief Fund for FY2024. $15.5 billion is for major disasters, and $2 million goes to the Inspector General. The money stays available until spent.
- Keep WIC and senior food help: benefit, medium. The law keeps WIC and the Commodity Supplemental Food Program running through November 17, 2023. Agencies can use funds at the rate needed to maintain current participation and caseloads. This helps families and low-income seniors keep food benefits during the short-term period.
- Rural renters keep rental assistance: benefit, medium. The Rural Housing Service can use funds to maintain rental assistance under section 521(a)(2). This keeps rent help in place for rural renters through November 17, 2023.
- Farm ownership loans keep moving: benefit, medium. The Farm Service Agency can use funds to process and fund approved direct and guaranteed farm ownership loans. This keeps farm credit moving through November 17, 2023.
- Keep flights and airport taxes running: benefit, medium. Essential Air Service gets $89.2 million and underserved airports get $2.5 million for October 1 to December 31, 2023. The law also extends airport trust fund and aviation ticket tax dates to December 31, 2023, and one item to January 1, 2024. These steps help keep flights, safety, and small-town a…
- Short-term money for health programs: benefit, medium. The government funds key health programs from October 1 to November 17, 2023. Community Health Centers get about $526.0 million, Teaching Health Centers get $16.6 million, and the National Health Service Corps gets $40.8 million. The Special Diabetes Programs each get $19.7 million, and those funds…
- Higher FDA fees for animal drugs: cost, high. Animal drug makers face higher FDA fees. The program targets $33.5 million in fees each year for FY2024–FY2028. Generic INAD requests filed on or after October 1, 2023 cost $50,000 each. Fees must be paid before review, though some minor-use or minor-species drugs may get waivers.
- Medicaid hospital payment rules shift: mixed, high. The law lowers a Medicaid payment figure from $7,000,000,000 to $6,357,117,810. It also changes Medicaid DSH timing to cover November 18, 2023 through September 30, 2024, and fiscal years 2025–2027. These shifts affect hospital payment levels and when states receive funds, not who qualifies for Med…
- Grant timing limits and budget rules: mixed, low. Programs cannot make very large early FY2024 payouts or grant awards that lock in final funding, except where allowed. The law also keeps this bill’s budget effects off certain PAYGO scorecards and allocations. These are timing and bookkeeping rules during the short-term funding period.
