The drama is by no means over. Congressional leaders in both parties have to convince enough of their members to vote for the agreement, which contains provisions that lawmakers on each side of the aisle don바카라 게임 웹사이트t support.
Not all the details of the agreement are available yet. And the information made public Saturday evening shows some discrepancies. The bill text is scheduled to be released on Sunday.
Here바카라 게임 웹사이트s what we know about the deal, based on a fact sheet circulated by House Republicans and a source familiar with the negotiations.
Raises the debt ceiling: The agreement would increase the debt limit for two years.
Caps non-defense spending: Under the deal, non-defense spending would remain relatively flat in fiscal 2024 and increase by 1% in fiscal 2025, after certain unspecified adjustments to appropriations were made, according to the source.
After fiscal 2025, there would be appropriations targets, but they would not be enforceable, according to the source.
The House GOP fact sheet says that non-defense discretionary spending would be rolled back to fiscal 2022 levels and topline federal spending would be limited to 1% annual growth for the next six years.
The that House Republicans passed last month would return discretionary spending to fiscal 2022 levels and then limit the growth in spending to 1% for a decade. Defense spending would be protected.
Protects veterans바카라 게임 웹사이트 medical care: The deal would maintain full funding for veterans바카라 게임 웹사이트 health care and would increase support for the PACT Act바카라 게임 웹사이트s toxic exposure fund by nearly $15 billion for the fiscal year 2024, according to the source.
The House GOP fact sheet says veterans바카라 게임 웹사이트 medical care would be fully funded.
Expands work requirements: The agreement calls for temporarily broadening of for certain adults receiving food stamps.
Currently, childless, able-bodied adults ages 18 to 49 are only able to get food stamps for three months out of every three years unless they are employed at least 20 hours a week or meet other criteria. The deal would raise the age to 54, according to the source. The GOP fact sheet says it would apply to those up to age 55.
However, the deal would also expand exemptions for veterans, people who are homeless and others in the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program, or SNAP, as food stamps are formally known.
And all the changes would end in 2030.
The agreement would also make changes to the current work requirements in the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families program.
Work requirements would not be introduced in Medicaid, which House Republicans had called for in their debt ceiling bill.
Clawback unspent COVID-19 relief funds: The deal would rescind unobligated funds from the COVID-19 relief packages that Congress passed to respond to the pandemic, according to the House GOP fact sheet.
Estimates on how much of the roughly $4.5 trillion in relief remains vary.
Cut Internal Revenue Service funding: The agreement would cancel the total fiscal year 2023 staffing funding request that the House GOP says would go for new IRS agents, according to the fact sheet.
House Republicans have been determined to cancel the roughly contained in the Inflation Reduction Act that Democrats passed last year. The GOP lawmakers argue that the money will be used to hire an army of new agents to audit Americans, but the agency says it will also be used to support operations, modernize customer service technology and assist taxpayers.
Restart student loan repayments: The deal would require borrowers to pay back their student loans again, according to the House GOP fact sheet, although when repayments would start is not specified. They have been paused since the COVID-19 pandemic began.
However, the agreement would maintain Biden바카라 게임 웹사이트s plan to provide for qualifying borrowers, the source said. The measure is currently before the , which is expected to rule on it in the coming weeks.
