Cost Estimate of H.R. 1 As Amended and Passed by the House
CBO released an estimate of the budgetary impacts of H.R. 1, the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009, as amended and passed by the House of Representatives on January 28. Over the 2009-2019 period, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 1 would increase budget deficits by about $820 billion.
CBO’s estimate for H.R. 1 as passed by the House of Representatives is about $3.7 billion greater over the 2009-2019 period than the corresponding amount shown in CBO’s January 26th cost estimate for the version of H.R. 1 that was introduced on that day. That difference is attributable to four provisions adopted by the House of Representatives. An amendment to increase funding for the Department of Transportation’s transit programs by $3 billion accounts for most of the added costs over the 2009-2019 period.
There are also some changes in the allocation of budgetary impact between revenue and outlays. CBO, in consultation with JCT, has concluded that the subsidy for health insurance assistance for the unemployed should be treated as an increase in outlays rather than a decrease in revenues. Although this treatment is different from that in the table provided in our estimate for H.R. 1 as introduced on January 26, the overall effect on the budget remains the same for each year. JCT has also adjusted its estimates of the mix of revenue losses and outlay increases associated with certain refundable tax credits; that change also has no effect on the budget totals for each year.
