Budget Process
The Federal Budget Process
The process in which the federal budget is proposed, debated and eventually made law involves
a specific
timeline, which follows the fiscal
as opposed to the calendar year,
certain
steps, from ETA's budget request to the Department of Labor to DOL's
budget request to the Office of Management and Budget, which makes a proposal to the President and Congress,
and many
participants from the Executive and Legislative branches of the government.
