Bill Overview

Analyzed Economic Effects

7 provisions identified: 1 benefits, 0 costs, 6 mixed.

Social Security trust fund levels set

The resolution sets yearly revenue and spending levels for the Social Security trust funds from 2026 to 2035. It also sets the funds’ annual administrative budgets. For 2026, it scores about $1.35 trillion in revenue and $1.51 trillion in outlays. These numbers guide Senate enforcement and planning for benefit payments.

Federal budget totals for 2026 to 2035 set

Congress sets overall federal budget numbers for 2026 to 2035. It lists yearly totals for revenue, new budget authority, outlays, deficits, and debt. For 2026, it targets about $4.24 trillion in revenue and a $1.27 trillion deficit. These figures guide budget enforcement and planning each year.

Budget room for immigration enforcement bills

The Senate Budget Chair can adjust budget totals to take up immigration enforcement and border security bills. Only measures reported by the Senate Judiciary or Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committees qualify. Any change must be deficit-neutral over 2026–2035. This authority helps consider enforcement bills without breaking the deficit targets.

Fast-track budget bills on border and justice

Homeland Security and Judiciary committees in both chambers must send reconciliation recommendations by May 15, 2026. Each can raise the deficit by up to $70 billion total over 2026–2035. The Senate Budget Committee must report a bill that carries those items without substantive change. Budget chairs can adjust totals, and in the Senate the PAYGO ledger, to fit compliant reconciliation bills.

Social Security and Postal Service admin counted

The resolution counts administrative costs for Social Security and the Postal Service in Appropriations allocations and enforcement. In the Senate baseline, it lists yearly USPS admin amounts from 2026 to 2035 (for example, about $274 million in 2026 and $371 million in 2035). These figures are used when scoring bills.

Stronger budget enforcement and update rules

Two Senate budget points of order remain in force permanently. This title becomes part of each chamber’s rules, which either chamber can later change. Budget chairs can update totals and allocations to match CBO baseline updates and new budget concepts, with changes published and effective upon enactment. If no conference is appointed, Budget Chairs must publish committee allocations for enforcement.

House excludes emergency funds from budget limits

In the House, funding labeled an emergency is left out of budget limits and scoring. A move to strip the emergency label is ignored for budget scoring. An emergency must address loss of life, property, or national security. It must also be sudden, urgent, unforeseen, and temporary. An amendment to reduce other non-required amounts is always in order.
