Office of Budget (OB)

Responsibilities

The Office of Budget provides analytical support and recommendations to the Secretary and the Assistant Secretary for Resources and Technology on budget, performance, and program policy issues. The office maintains active communication with OMB and the Congress, responds to information requests in an accurate and timely manner, and works with these organizations to achieve the Department’s budget priorities.

The budget office staff play a lead role in analyzing Congressional budget actions, such as hearings and authorizing and appropriations legislation. The Budget Office also provides guidance and technical assistance to HHS operating divisions, reviews and analyzes policy proposals, promotes program integrity and other management priorities, and leads the resolution of issues arising from budget execution activities. The Budget Office is organized into three divisions with approximately 60 staff.
