H.R. 5371 — Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2026 (the shutdown-ending CR; Public Law 119-37)
Official title: Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and Extensions Act, 2026
What the tracked text contains
Of the money itself: $663.0B across 35 tracked line-items — veterans ($471.6B, 71%), income security ($155.2B, 23%) and defense ($16.3B, 2%) lead; 5 smaller categories carry the rest. The largest single line: $246,630,525,000 for Veterans compensation, pension and burial benefits — ADVANCE appropriation, first available October 1, 2026 (FY2027). Beyond the cash, the text also sets $437.5M of authorizations (a ceiling on future spending), $1.5B of set-asides (already counted above), $31.2B of loan-guarantee ceilings and $15.9B of revenue & offsets (pay-fors) — disclosed beside the total, never summed into it. The dated money runs fiscal 2026–2027 — 60% of tracked dollars carry a year in the text.

Where the money goes
$663.0B across 35 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. 5371, sized by its share of the $663.0B 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.
4 of the 8 blocks are too small to carry a label without overprinting themselves, so they are drawn blank — every category is named, with its figures, in the rows and the table below.

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. 5371 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.
Authorization (“authorized to be appropriated”)
Permission, not money. “There is authorized to be appropriated $X” sets a ceiling on what a future spending bill may provide — and if that later bill never passes, not a dollar moves. Much of a landmark law's famous headline number is this kind of permission, which is why this site never adds it to the spending total.
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.
Cost of War Toxic Exposures Fund
A dedicated account for veterans' toxic-exposure health care and benefits, created by the PACT Act. It is funded as mandatory money precisely so this care never has to compete with the rest of the VA budget in each year's funding fight.
When the money is for
fiscal years the tracked line-items carry8 of 35 tracked line-items carry a fiscal year — 0 named in the quoted text, 8 taken from the account heading the line is cited to, which is a hand-written annotation rather than a string-checked quote — 60% 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.
How they voted
| For | Against | Abstained | Did not vote | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| House | 219 51% | 205 48% | — | 2 0% | 426 |
| Democrats | 6 3% | 203 97% | — | 1 0% | 210 |

“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 (2): Bonnie Watson Coleman (D-NJ), Michael T. McCaul (R-TX).
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 524 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.
Authorizations (a ceiling on future spending) — $437.5M
“There are authorized to be appropriated $X” sets a CAP on what a future appropriations bill may provide — it is permission, not money. Much of a landmark law’s headline figure is this. It is disclosed here, never summed into the pie, because the cash only exists if a later bill actually appropriates it.
- AUTHORIZATION (a ceiling on FUTURE appropriations, not money) to pay for an increase in the U.S. subscription to the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development's paid-in capital stock — up to 40,000 additional shares. The subscription itself is “effective only to such extent and in such amounts as are provided in advance in appropriations Acts.”$437.5M
Set-asides (already counted above) — $1.5B
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.
- Members' Representational Allowances — House Members' clerk hire, office expenses and official mail. SET-ASIDE, NOT summed into the pie: the House Salaries and Expenses appropriation of $2,083,055,000 is followed by “as follows:” and this is one of its eleven components, which sum to exactly $2,083,055,000. Counting it as well would double-count it against the House total already in the pie.$850.0M
- VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families grants — help for very low-income veteran families in permanent housing. SET-ASIDE, NOT summed into the pie and NOT an authorization: 38 U.S.C. 2044(e) is titled “Funding” and reads “From amounts appropriated to the Department for Medical Services, there shall be available…”, so this is a carve-out from the VA Medical Services appropriation rather than money of its own. The bill's own Medical Services proviso confirms it, saying nothing in section 2044(e) limits amounts available under that heading for FY2026 and FY2027.$660.0M
Loan-guarantee ceilings — $31.2B
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.
- Ceiling on the principal of NEW section 502 unsubsidized guaranteed single-family rural home loans — guarantee authority, NOT cash spending$25.0B

How this was built
Fetched the enrolled (ENR) XML from the GovInfo bulk BILLS collection with python requests; rendered a faithful plain text by concatenating ElementTree itertext() and collapsing whitespace; located every extracted dollar string and quote as an exact substring of that text. ADVERSARIALLY RE-VERIFIED: the source was re-fetched independently (HTTP 200, 749,337 bytes), all 42 quotes were re-matched verbatim, every dollar was re-read in ±1,400 characters of surrounding context to re-derive its operative verb, the two mechanism calls that turned on statutory text (38 U.S.C. 2044(e) and 42 U.S.C. 254b-2(b)) were checked against the US Code itself at uscode.house.gov, and every dollar figure of $1,000,000,000 or more anywhere in the bill was enumerated and accounted for as either extracted, a subset of an extracted parent, a prior-year reference, a loan level, a transfer, or a limitation. 42 of 42 sampled figures were re-located as exact strings in the source text. Source: GovInfo enrolled bill text. Full bill text.
Extraction notes (technical)
H.R. 5371 is the law that ended the 43-day FY2026 shutdown. It is a HYBRID: division A is a continuing resolution (funding most of the government at the prior year's rate for operations, with almost no dollar figures of its own), divisions B, C and D are three FULL-YEAR appropriations acts (Agriculture-Rural Development-FDA; Legislative Branch; Military Construction-VA), and divisions E through H are program extenders. Everything extracted here comes from the ENACTED bill text, not a CBO score. MECHANISMS, which must not be summed together: (1) 'appropriation' = budget authority actually provided by this Act; (2) 'direct_spending' = a mandatory appropriation made in an amended statute rather than in an appropriations account — the one instance here is the Community Health Center Fund, where 42 U.S.C. 254b-2(b) reads 'there is authorized to be appropriated, AND THERE IS APPROPRIATED, out of any monies in the Treasury not otherwise appropriated'; (3) 'loan_guarantee_ceiling' = a cap on the principal of NEW guaranteed loans, which spends no cash (the $25,000,000,000 section 502 rural housing guarantee ceiling is the largest single dollar figure in division B and is NOT spending); (4) 'authorization' = 'there are authorized to be appropriated', permission for a future appropriation, not money — exactly ONE such figure appears in this Act: $437,457,804 in division A sec. 160 for an increase in the U.S. subscription to the paid-in capital stock of the EUROPEAN Bank for Reconstruction and Development (sec. 160 amends the European Bank for Reconstruction and Development Act, 22 U.S.C. 290l et seq.; the phrase 'Inter-American' does not appear anywhere in this bill); (5) 'set_aside' = a carve-out inside a figure already counted, listed for detail but never summed in; (6) 'revenue_or_offset' = rescissions, money taken back rather than spent. SET-ASIDES, LISTED BUT NOT SUMMED: the $850,000,000 Members' Representational Allowances is one of the eleven components that follow 'For salaries and expenses of the House of Representatives, $2,083,055,000, as follows:' and those components sum to exactly $2,083,055,000, so it is already inside the House total; and the $660,000,000 for VA Supportive Services for Veteran Families (division G sec. 7303) is drawn from the VA Medical Services appropriation, because 38 U.S.C. 2044(e) is titled 'Funding' and reads 'From amounts appropriated to the Department for Medical Services, there shall be available'. ADVANCE APPROPRIATIONS: the largest VA accounts here (Compensation and Pensions $246,630,525,000; Medical Services $59,858,000,000; Medical Community Care $38,700,000,000; Readjustment Benefits $24,703,528,000; Medical Support and Compliance $12,000,000,000; Medical Facilities $11,700,000,000) are budget authority provided BY THIS ACT but first available on October 1, 2026 — i.e. FY2027 advance appropriations. They are counted, and labeled as advances in each purpose. APPROPRIATED ENTITLEMENTS: SNAP, child nutrition, WIC, and VA compensation/pensions and readjustment benefits are mandatory programs funded through appropriations language here; they are tagged 'appropriation' because that is the operative verb in this Act. AVOIDING DOUBLE-COUNTING: apart from the two figures explicitly tagged 'set_aside' above, no carve-out is listed as its own line-item — the two $3,000,000,000 SNAP reserves inside the $107,481,218,000 SNAP total, the $621,615,000/$772,385,000 splits inside VA Construction Major Projects, the $1,422,916,000/$3,917,921,000/$578,163,000 subaccounts inside VA Information Technology Systems, the FDA center-by-center breakdown inside the $6,957,972,000 FDA total, and the planning-and-design set-asides inside each military construction account are all subsets and are excluded. RESCISSIONS in the bill that are NOT in the pie: $15,889,000,000 (VA Medical Services, listed below), $610,000,000 (VA Medical Support and Compliance), $350,000,000 (Treasury Forfeiture Fund, division B sec. 784), $78,000,000 (USDA Working Capital Fund, sec. 770), $30,000,000 (NRCS Conservation Operations, sec. 767), $22,000,000 (NIFA Research and Education Activities, sec. 768), $20,000,000 (Distance Learning/Telemedicine/Broadband) — each re-verified in context. NOT EXTRACTED: division A's base continuing appropriation carries no dollar figure (it funds agencies 'at a rate for operations' set by prior-year Acts), so the CR's true cost does not appear as a line-item anywhere in the text and is not estimated here; the one CR account stated as a rate ($1,564,373,000 for Judiciary Defender Services, sec. 144) is deliberately left out, because a rate for operations under a CR that runs only to January 30, 2026 is not full-year budget authority. Loan LEVELS that are neither appropriations nor guarantees (e.g. $4,333,000,000 cost-of-money direct rural electric loans, $2,580,000,000 direct farm ownership loans, $1,015,000,000 direct rural water loans) are excluded, as is the $1,716,293,000 section 32 limitation (a cap on a permanent appropriation made elsewhere) and the $2,030,000,000 intra-VA transfer in sec. 253. Project-level military construction and USDA earmark detail lives in the accompanying explanatory statement, a SEPARATE document referenced by section 4 and not parsed here; only the account totals are shown. These are the largest and most illustrative line-items, not every dollar in the Act: the tracked total is a FLOOR. CURATOR-NOTE CHECK (independent, after the adversarial pass): every capitalised phrase in the purpose and recipient fields was compared against the enacted text. 1 description(s) named something the Act does not — a programme's common name, or a characterisation of what an account is for — and were rewritten to the account name as enacted, with any common name kept only where it is explicitly marked as a gloss. Amounts, mechanisms and citations were not touched.
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. 5371 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. 5371. 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
the rows the assessment was givenChoose a state above to see the measured profile the assessment reads from — its industry mix, its concentrations, and its energy consumption, each with its source and vintage.
