What this amendment would do

This amendment would add a new section to the concurrent resolution regarding the congressional budget.

  • The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate would be permitted to change committee allocations, aggregates, and other budgetary levels.

  • These changes could be made for various types of legislation, including bills, joint resolutions, amendments, motions, or conference reports, that relate to the Federal workforce.

  • This could include preventing a reduction in force, which is a reduction in the number of employees, at the Social Security Administration to prevent delays or hindrances to access to services or social security benefits.

  • These adjustments would be made using amounts provided in the legislation for those specific purposes.

  • The amendment stipulates that such legislation would not increase the deficit, which is the amount by which government spending exceeds revenue, during the period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
