What this amendment would do

This amendment was submitted by Mr. Bennet and is known as SA 1373. Its purpose is to set up a deficit-neutral reserve fund relating to cuts to social services block grants.

Here is what it aims to do based strictly on the text:

  • It allows the Chairman of the Senate Committee on the Budget to revise allocations, aggregates, and other levels in the resolution.

  • It allows adjustments to the pay-as-you-go ledger for legislation related to social services programs.

  • It specifically covers prohibiting reductions to the program of block grants to States for social services, which includes cuts to Meals on Wheels programs that get funding through these grants.

  • Any legislation using this fund cannot increase the deficit over the total period of fiscal years 2025 through 2034.
