This report offers an overview of actions taken by Congress and the President to provide FY2022 appropriations for accounts funded by the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies (LHHS) appropriations bill. This bill includes all accounts funded through the annual appropriations process at the Department of Labor (DOL) and Department of Education (ED). It also provides annual appropriations for most agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), with certain exceptions (e.g., the Food and Drug Administration is funded via the Agriculture bill). The LHHS bill also provides funds for more than a dozen related agencies, including the Social Security Administration (SSA). This report primarily focuses on regular FY2022 LHHS discretionary funding enacted during the annual appropriations process. Note that the totals in the report tables do not include emergency-designated appropriations. Those amounts are displayed separately and are in addition to regular appropriations. This report is divided into several sections. The opening section provides an explanation of the scope of the LHHS bill (and hence, the scope of this report) and an introduction to important terminology and concepts that carry throughout the report. Next is a series of sections describing major congressional actions on FY2022 appropriations and (for context) a review of the conclusion of the FY2021 appropriations process. This is followed by a high-level summary and analysis of proposed appropriations for FY2022, compared to FY2021 funding levels. The body of the report concludes with overview sections for each of the major titles of the bill: DOL, HHS, ED, and Related Agencies (RA). These sections provide selected highlights from FY2022 proposed funding levels compared to FY2021. Appendix A provides a summary of budget enforcement activities for FY2022. Appendix B provides an overview of the LHHS floor amendments that were offered in the House during its consideration of H.R. 4502.
