H.R. 133 — Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (incl. Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021)
Official title: Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021
What the tracked text contains
Of the money itself: $2.15T across 31 tracked line-items — health ($985.4B, 46%), commerce & housing credit ($284.4B, 13%) and national defense ($263.1B, 12%) lead; 5 smaller categories carry the rest. The largest single line: $439,514,000,000 for Payments to Health Care Trust Funds — general-revenue payment to the Medicare Supplementary Medical Insurance (Part B/D) Trust Fund (mandatory). Beyond the cash, the text also sets $46.4B of trust-fund obligation limits, $19.7B of set-asides (already counted above), $2.61T of loan-guarantee ceilings and $575.5B of revenue & offsets (pay-fors) — disclosed beside the total, never summed into it. The dated money runs fiscal 2021–2022 — 17% of tracked dollars carry a year in the text.

Where the money goes
$2.15T across 31 tracked items · compare against another law →The largest verified line-items. This pie breaks down the biggest spending items in the bill — appropriations and mandatory (direct) spending — by category. Every dollar is quoted from the text; click any slice to read them. It is not necessarily every dollar in the bill, and the gaps are not always small ones — where an account was left out, How this was built at the foot of this page says so and why, and a large omission can change which category ranks first. Figures that aren’t spending — authorizations, guarantee ceilings, pay-fors, and carve-outs already counted — are deliberately left out and disclosed below.
The money map
blocks sized by dollars — open one for the law’s own wordsArea is dollars. Each block is one category of tracked spending in H.R. 133, sized by its share of the $2.15T this page tracks. Open a block and it lists the line-items inside it, each with the passage of the enacted text that carries the dollar figure, quoted word for word, and the section it sits in. Category names are the extraction’s own labels, printed as they come — nothing here calls a category worthwhile or wasteful. The quote is the argument.
This map divides the same tracked total the pie above divides — money the text writes as exact dollar lines. It is not the bill’s total fiscal effect: what the extraction leaves out is stated above the pie and in How this was built at the foot of this page, and the dollars deliberately kept out of the count are listed under the map.

What’s in this bill
every mechanism we could extract, at one scaleA law can move money four different ways, and only one of them is cash. This compares what H.R. 133 actually spends against what it authorizes, caps, guarantees or pays for. Every bar is a sample. Each one sums the tracked line-items in that mechanism — the largest figures that appear in the text as an exact dollar string — so a bar is a floor, not a mechanism total, and on some laws it is a small fraction of one. Each bar carries its item count and, where the items carry years, the span it covers and where those years came from.
These bars are not added together. Only the top bar is money leaving the Treasury. The rest are ceilings, borrowing limits, carve-outs of money already counted above, or pay-fors — summing them would count the same dollars twice and treat permission to spend as spending. How this was built says what each extraction left out.
What CBO says it does to the deficit
verified estimate, quoted with its basisNo verified CBO estimate is on file for this bill yet — the gap is stated here rather than filled from memory or news coverage.
The terms on this page, in plain English
What these things actually are — and what this bill does to each of them. Written for readers, not staffers; every figure in the “in this bill” lines appears elsewhere on this page.
The Highway Trust Fund
The federal government's dedicated road-and-transit account. Money flows in from federal taxes on gasoline and diesel, and flows out to state highway and transit projects. Congress promises states money from it years in advance — so the fund's health depends on fuel-tax receipts keeping up with the promises, and for years they haven't. When the gap gets big enough, Congress moves ordinary Treasury money in to cover it.
Contract authority
A promise now, cash later. Congress lets highway agencies sign binding commitments against future trust-fund money before any cash is in hand — useful because a bridge takes years to build. The commitments are real spending eventually, but the figure here is permission to commit, so it is disclosed beside the total rather than counted as money out the door.
Obligation limitation
The annual brake on those promises. States hold years of trust-fund commitments, and each year's spending bill caps how much of them may turn into actual signed spending that year. It is real money moving, but the number is a limit on older promises — not new money — so adding it to the total would double-count.
Mandatory vs. discretionary spending
Discretionary money must be re-approved every year in appropriations bills — if Congress does nothing, it stops. Mandatory (also called direct) spending is written into permanent law and flows automatically until Congress changes the law itself. Benefit programs mostly work the mandatory way, which is why they don't show up in the yearly funding fights.
Loan-guarantee ceiling
The government co-signing loans, not spending money. The figure caps how much new lending the government may promise to stand behind; cash leaves the Treasury only if borrowers default. These ceilings can dwarf a bill's actual spending — which is exactly why they are shown separately and never summed into it.
Rescission
Taking back money Congress previously provided that hasn't been spent yet. It reduces spending on paper; how much it saves in practice depends on whether the money was ever going out the door.
Advance appropriation
Money approved now for a future year. Used above all for veterans' benefits and care, so that a government shutdown or a late budget can never interrupt disability checks or hospital operations — the money for next year is already law.
Set-aside (carve-out)
A floor inside money already counted: “of the amounts above, at least $X shall go to Y.” It steers the money rather than adding to it — counting a carve-out again would double-count — so it is disclosed beside the total, never summed into it.
SNAP (food stamps)
Monthly grocery money on a debit card for low-income households. It is an entitlement: everyone who qualifies and applies receives it, and the appropriation has to cover whoever shows up — so the figure moves with the economy, not with a policy choice in this bill.
Housing Choice Vouchers (Section 8)
Rent help for low-income tenants: the household pays roughly a third of its income, the voucher covers the rest up to a local cap. Unlike SNAP it is not an entitlement — when the year's money runs out, waiting lists grow. That is why this annual number decides how many families are actually helped.
When the money is for
fiscal years the tracked line-items carry5 of 31 tracked line-items carry a fiscal year — 1 named in the quoted text, 4 taken from the account heading the line is cited to, which is a hand-written annotation rather than a string-checked quote — 17% of the tracked dollars. The no year column is money the text appropriates without naming a year in the quoted passage; it is shown so the dated columns aren’t mistaken for the whole schedule.

The House concurred in the Senate amendment in two divided recorded votes on 2020-12-21. Roll 251 ("On Concurring in Senate Amdt with Amdt (Except Divisions B, C, E, and F)", passed 359-53) is recorded here as the operative final-passage vote because it carries the bulk of the omnibus, including the December 2020 COVID-relief titles (Divisions M and N). The companion roll 250 ("On Concurring in Senate Amdt with Portion of Amdt Comprising of Divisions B, C, E, and F", passed 327-85, https://clerk.house.gov/evs/2020/roll250.xml) covered the remaining four appropriations divisions. The House positions in the map below are from roll 251.
The Senate agreed to the motion to concur in the House amendment to the Senate amendment to H.R. 133 on 2020-12-21 (roll 289, agreed to 92-6, 3/5 majority required); this single Senate vote covers the entire enacted package.
“Did not vote” is not the same as “absent.” The record distinguishes Present — there, and formally declining to take a side — from Not Voting, where no vote was cast. That is usually absence, but the roll call does not say so, so this table does not either.
Did not vote (8): Barry Loudermilk (R-GA), Daniel Webster (R-FL), Gregory F. Murphy (R-NC), Joe Wilson (R-SC), John R. Carter (R-TX), Mike Rogers (R-AL), Mike Rounds (R-SD), Neal P. Dunn (R-FL).
A member is recorded as not voting for many ordinary reasons — illness, a death in the family, official travel, or a paired vote arranged with a colleague on the other side. The roll call gives no reason, so neither does this page, and nothing here is counted against anyone’s grade. This site tracks a small number of major bills, so a single absence is a large share of what is shown here and a very small share of the hundreds of votes a member actually casts.
These tallies count the 313 members sitting today who have a recorded position, not the historical result. Several of these bills passed in earlier Congresses, and members who have since left are not in the roster — so the totals here are smaller than the 435 + 100 that voted at the time. Where both chambers held a recorded vote, a member is grouped by the chamber they sit in now; anyone who has switched chambers since then appears in their current row.
Trust-fund obligation limits — $46.4B
Ceilings on Highway Trust Fund contract authority. Real spending, but the figure is a limit and the underlying authority is set in the surface-transportation law, not this bill — so it is disclosed here, not summed into the spending pie.
- Federal-aid Highways — obligation limitation on Highway Trust Fund contract authority$46.4BFY2021
Set-asides (already counted above) — $19.7B
A carve-out or reservation WITHIN a larger line-item already in the pie (e.g. a share of a fund reserved for a specific use). Shown for detail but NOT summed in — its dollars are part of the parent, and counting both would double-count.
- Carve-out of the $22.4B vaccines PHSSEF reserved for BARDA (NOT additive)$19.7B
Loan-guarantee ceilings — $2.61T
Caps on NEW loan or mortgage-backed-security guarantee commitments. No cash is spent — the government only backstops private lending — so these are excluded from the pie entirely.
- Ginnie Mae — ceiling on NEW mortgage-backed-securities guarantee commitments (no cash outlay)$1.30T

- Rural Housing Insurance Fund — unsubsidized single-family housing loan-guarantee level (no cash outlay)$24.0B
Revenue & offsets (pay-fors) — $575.5B
Tax changes, rescissions and other provisions that RAISE or save money rather than spend it. Not spending — disclosed so the law’s cost is not overstated by ignoring how it was paid for.

How this was built
Fetched the enrolled XML with python3 requests from GovInfo bulk BILLS (dc:title 'HR 133 ENR: Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021'; official title 'Making consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2021, providing coronavirus emergency response and relief'). Built a faithful text rendering via ElementTree itertext with whitespace normalization (5,887,907 chars), enumerated every billion-plus dollar figure, and classified each of the largest by its operative verb (appropriation vs 'shall not exceed' guarantee ceiling vs 'shall not exceed total obligations of' limitation vs 'rescinded'). Each line-item's dollar string and <=15-word quote was generated directly from, and re-verified as, an exact substring of that faithful text; multi-occurrence figures were anchored to the correct account by a unique preceding phrase. 40 of 40 sampled figures were re-located as exact strings in the source text. Source: GovInfo enrolled bill text (BILLS-116hr133enr). Full bill text.
Extraction notes (technical)
H.R. 133 is the Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2021 (Public Law 116-260), a ~2,100-page omnibus that bundles ALL TWELVE regular FY2021 appropriations bills (Divisions A-L: Agriculture-FDA, Commerce-Justice-Science, Defense, Energy-Water, Financial Services, Homeland Security, Interior-Environment, Labor-HHS-Education, Legislative Branch, MilCon-VA, State-Foreign Operations, and Transportation-HUD) WITH the December 2020 COVID-relief package (Division M, the Coronavirus Response and Relief Supplemental Appropriations Act, 2021, plus Division N's Additional Coronavirus Response and Relief, which carries the Economic Aid Act/PPP second round, the COVID-related Tax Relief Act, and continued unemployment assistance) and dozens of authorization divisions (O-HH: WRDA 2020, the Energy Act of 2020, the Taxpayer Certainty and Disaster Tax Relief Act, IAA FY2021, etc.). Headline: roughly $1.4 trillion in regular FY2021 discretionary appropriations plus about $900 billion of COVID relief, i.e. ~$2.3 trillion of total assistance. THRESHOLD: passes overwhelmingly on appropriations alone; the tracked pie floor here is ~$2.15 trillion. MECHANISM CALLS (the point of this file): (1) APPROPRIATIONS IN THE PIE (31 line-items) span the biggest accounts across the omnibus and the COVID titles. Several very large lines are economically MANDATORY entitlements appropriated via a 'For [purpose] ... $X' operative verb and are tagged 'appropriation' per the operative-verb rule (consistent with the sister Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024 file): Grants to States for Medicaid ($313.904B main + a separate $148.732B first-quarter-FY2022 advance), Payments to Health Care Trust Funds ($439.514B general-revenue transfer to the Medicare SMI Trust Fund), Supplemental Security Income ($40.159B main + $19.600B Q1-FY2022 advance), SNAP ($114.036B), and Child Nutrition ($25.118B). The Medicaid and SSI pairs are NON-overlapping (a main appropriation plus a distinct next-fiscal-year advance), the same two-figure treatment used for VA in the CAA-2024 file; VA Medical Services ($130.228B) and Medical Community Care ($58.897B) figures shown are the FY2022 advance appropriations. COVID appropriations in the pie: PPP subsidy-cost appropriation $284.450B ('for the cost of guaranteed loans'), Education Stabilization Fund $81.880B, Emergency Rental Assistance $25.000B, two PHSSEF lines ($22.945B testing, $22.400B vaccines/therapeutics), airline Payroll Support Program 2 $16.000B, Transit Infrastructure Grants $14.000B, Highway Infrastructure Programs $10.000B, and the CCDBG $10.000B. (2) LOAN-GUARANTEE CEILINGS, EXCLUDED from the pie ($2,605.4B, no cash outlay): Ginnie Mae MBS guarantee ceiling $1,300.000B, the raised total SBA 7(a)/PPP commitment ceiling $806.450B (struck from $659B), FHA MMI single-family ceiling $400.000B, SBA 7(a) general-business ceiling $75.000B, and the Rural Housing Insurance Fund unsubsidized-guarantee level $24.000B. Counting the $806.450B PPP commitment ceiling AND the $284.450B PPP subsidy appropriation together would double-count PPP; only the $284.450B appropriation is in the pie. (3) OBLIGATION LIMITATION, disclosed ($46.365B): Federal-aid Highways contract-authority limit (its underlying authority lives in the FAST Act, not this bill; the paired $47.104B liquidating-cash figure is NOT summed). (4) REVENUE/OFFSET (rescissions, NOT spending, $575.5B): the $429.000B permanent rescission of unobligated CARES Act Exchange Stabilization Fund balances and the $146.500B rescission of unobligated CARES PPP balances (Division N also strikes the CARES Sec. 4003(a) $500B facility and its $454B Federal Reserve sub-ceiling to $0 - amendments, not new money). (5) SET-ASIDE, disclosed ($19.695B BARDA reserve within the $22.400B vaccines PHSSEF line - NOT summed again). NOT SUMMED / not line-itemed here: the ~$600-per-person second round of recovery rebates and the $300/week federal unemployment supplement (Division N) are large DIRECT SPENDING but appear as refundable-tax-credit and formula provisions with no '$X for Y' appropriation line in the operative text, so - to keep every tracked dollar bill-text-verifiable - they are disclosed narratively and are NOT included in appropriated_total (their magnitudes would come from a CBO/JCT score, not the bill text). appropriated_total sums ONLY the 31 appropriation line-items and is a tracked FLOOR of the largest accounts, not the omnibus's complete account-by-account total. PROCEDURE: the House passed H.R. 133 (the combined measure) on 2020-12-21 by recorded votes (Divisions A-M etc.); enacted 2020-12-27. Every dollar string and quote in line_items was re-located as an exact substring of the enrolled-XML faithful-text (ElementTree itertext, whitespace-normalized).
How this lands in a state
two layers, in order: reported, shownPick a state and this section gives you two different things, and keeps them apart. First, what the government itself reports — obligations Treasury tags to this law, where such a tag exists. Second, the state’s own numbers — the same rows an assessment would be given, with their sources and vintages, so you can check this page against the record behind it. Every state is treated identically.
1. What the government reports
no official per-state breakdown exists for this lawNo official source breaks H.R. 133 down by state, so this page publishes no per-state dollar figure for it. No Disaster Emergency Fund Code maps to this law, so no reported obligation can be traced back to it. Without that tag there is no audit trail from an award to this bill, and any per-state figure would be modelled rather than derived.
Two of the 31 laws tracked on this site can be broken down honestly — the Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act and the American Rescue Plan Act — because Treasury tags their money with a Disaster Emergency Fund Code that maps to one public law and no other. Where no such code exists, a per-state figure would be modelled rather than derived, and this site does not publish modelled numbers.
The route we refuse to take, and why (technical)
USAspending's award SEARCH endpoints accept the same def_codes filter but select AWARDS, not DOLLARS: they return an award's entire obligation if any part of it touched the law's money. That route reported a single Sandia National Laboratories contract as $42.8B of IIJA money in New Mexico against a true DEFC-apportioned $64.5M, and overstated ARPA nationally by about 80%. It is not used here and must not be.
2. The assessment
nothing staged into this buildNo assessments were staged into this build. This layer reads precomputed readings out of the page, and this build carries none, so there is nothing here for any state — a gap in the build rather than a fact about H.R. 133. The two sourced layers either side of it are unaffected: they are the government’s figures and the state’s own, and neither depends on a model.
3. The state’s own numbers
