Assistant Director for Budget.
This Report is being published
pursuant to section 5 of the Statutory
VerDate Sep<11>2014
16:43 Jan 29, 2025
Jkt 265001
Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) Act of 2010,
Public Law 111–139, 124 Stat. 8, 2
U.S.C. 934, which requires that OMB
issue an annual PAYGO report,
including a sequestration order if
necessary, no later than 14 working days
after the end of a congressional session.
This Report describes the budgetary
effects of all PAYGO legislation enacted
during the second session of the 118th
Congress and presents the 5-year and
10-year PAYGO scorecards maintained
by OMB.1 Because neither the 5-year
nor 10-year scorecard shows a debit for
the budget year, which for purposes of
this Report is fiscal year 2025,2 a
sequestration order under subsection
5(b) of the PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C. 934(b)
is not required.
The budget year balance on each of
the PAYGO scorecards is zero because
the American Relief Act, 2025 (Public
Law 118–158) set the balances on both
scorecards to zero for all years. The
change directed by Public Law 118–158
is discussed in more detail in section IV
of this report.
During the second session of the
118th Congress, no laws with PAYGO
effects were enacted with emergency
requirements under section 4(g) of the
PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C. 933(g). Seven laws
had estimated budgetary effects on
direct spending and/or revenues that
were excluded from the calculations of
the PAYGO scorecards due to
provisions excluding part of the law
from section 4(d) of the PAYGO Act, 2
U.S.C. 933(d).
I. PAYGO Legislation With Budgetary
Effects
PAYGO legislation is authorizing
legislation that affects direct spending
or revenues, and appropriations
legislation that affects direct spending
in the years after the budget year or
affects revenues in any year.3 For a more
complete description of the PAYGO Act,
see Chapter 4, ‘‘Budget Process,’’ of the
Analytical Perspectives volume of the
2025 President’s Budget, found on the
1 This report encompasses laws enacted between
January 3, 2024 at noon and January 3, 2025 at
11:57 a.m. (Pub. L. 118–35 through Pub. L. 118–
224).
2 References to years on the PAYGO scorecards
are to fiscal years.
3 Provisions in appropriations acts that affect
direct spending in the years after the budget year
(also known as ‘‘outyears’’) or affect revenues in any
year are considered to be budgetary effects for the
purposes of the PAYGO scorecards except if the
provisions produce outlay changes that net to zero
over the current year, budget year, and the four
subsequent years. As specified in section 3 of the
PAYGO Act, off-budget effects are not counted as
budgetary effects. Off-budget effects refer to effects
on the Social Security trust funds (Old-Age and
Survivors Insurance and Disability Insurance) and
the Postal Service.

website of the U.S. Government Printing
Office (https://www.govinfo.gov/app/
collection/budget/2025/BUDGET-2025PER).
The PAYGO Act’s requirement of
deficit neutrality is based on two
scorecards that tally the cumulative
budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation
as averaged over rolling 5- and 10-year
periods starting with the budget year.
The 5-year and 10-year PAYGO
scorecards for each congressional
session begin with the balances of costs
or savings carried over from previous
sessions and then tally the costs or
savings of PAYGO laws enacted in the
most recent session.
The 5-year PAYGO scorecard for the
second session of the 118th Congress
began with balances of $1,697,668
million in 2025, $441,949 million in
2026, $71,317 million in 2027, and
¥$1,188 million in 2028. The 10-year
PAYGO scorecard for the second session
of the 118th Congress began with
balances of $913,423 million in 2025,
$241,837 million per year for 2026–
3031, $54,818 million in 2032, and
¥$891 million for 2033.
Laws enacted during the second
session of the 118th Congress created
balances on the 5- and 10-year
scorecards of ¥$230 million and ¥$275
million in each year, respectively.
Public Law 118–158 set the balances in
all years of both scorecards to zero at the
end of the second session of the 118th
Congress.
In the second session of the 118th
Congress, 46 laws were enacted that
were determined to constitute PAYGO
legislation. Of the 46 enacted PAYGO
laws, 14 laws were estimated to have
PAYGO budgetary effects (costs or
savings) in excess of $500,000 over one
or both of the 5-year or 10-year PAYGO
windows.
These were:
• Public Law 118–38, Overtime Pay
for Protective Services Act of 2023;
• Public Law 118–44, Disaster
Assistance Deadlines Alignment Act;
• Public Law 118–47, Further
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024;
• Public Law 118–50, Making

In addition to the laws identified
above, 32 laws enacted in this session
were estimated to have negligible
budgetary effects on the PAYGO
scorecards—costs or savings of less than
$500,000 over both the 5-year and 10year PAYGO windows.
II. Budgetary Effects Excluded From the
Scorecard Balances
A. Emergency Designations
No laws were enacted in the second
session of the 118th Congress with an
emergency designation under the
PAYGO Act.
B. Statutory Provisions Excluding
Legislation From the Scorecards
Seven laws enacted in the second
session of the 118th Congress had
estimated budgetary effects on direct
spending and revenues that were
excluded from the calculations for the
PAYGO scorecards due to provisions in
law excluding part of the law from
section 4(d) of the PAYGO Act.
Budgetary effects in seven laws were
excluded from the scorecards:
• Public Law 118–35, Further
Additional Continuing Appropriations
and Other Extensions Act, 2024;
• Public Law 118–40, Extension of
Continuing Appropriations and Other
Matters Act, 2024;
• Public Law 118–42, Consolidated
Appropriations Act, 2024;
• Public Law 118–47, Further
Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2024;
• Public Law 118–50, Making
emergency supplemental appropriations
for the fiscal year ending September 30,
2024, and for other purposes;
• Public Law 118–83, Continuing
Appropriations and Extensions Act,
2025; and
• Public Law 118–158, American
Relief Act, 2025.
Additionally, Division A of Public
Law 118–47 included a rescission of
$20.2 billion of funding for the Internal
Revenue Service (IRS) enforcement and
compliance activities, which is
estimated to result in decreases to
revenue collections. This decrease in
revenues is excluded from the PAYGO
estimate by scoring rules established
under the requirements of Section
252(d)(5) of the Balanced Budget and
Emergency Deficit Control Act of 1985,
as amended.

V. Sequestration Order
POSTAL REGULATORY COMMISSION
As shown on the scorecards, the
budgetary effects of PAYGO legislation
enacted in the second session of the
118th Congress, combined with section
21306(4) of Division B of Public Law
118–158, resulted in no costs on either
the 5-year or the 10-year scorecard in
the budget year, which is 2025 for the
purposes of this Report. Because the
costs for the budget year, as shown on
the scorecards, were set to zero for the
budget year, there is no ‘‘debit’’ on
either scorecard under section 3 of the
PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C. 932, and a
sequestration order is not required.4

This Report is being published pursuant to section 5 of the
Statutory Pay-As-You-Go (PAYGO) Act of 2010, Public Law 111-139, 124
Stat. 8, 2 U.S.C. 934, which requires that OMB issue an annual PAYGO
report, including a sequestration order if necessary, no later than 14
working days after the end of a congressional session.
This Report describes the budgetary effects of all PAYGO
legislation enacted during the second session of the 118th Congress and
presents the 5-year and 10-year PAYGO scorecards maintained by OMB.\1\
Because neither the 5-year nor 10-year scorecard shows a debit for the
budget year, which for purposes of this Report is fiscal year 2025,\2\
a sequestration order under subsection 5(b) of the PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C.
934(b) is not required.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\1\ This report encompasses laws enacted between January 3, 2024
at noon and January 3, 2025 at 11:57 a.m. (Pub. L. 118-35 through
Pub. L. 118-224).
\2\ References to years on the PAYGO scorecards are to fiscal

---------------------------------------------------------------------------
The budget year balance on each of the PAYGO scorecards is zero
because the American Relief Act, 2025 (Public Law 118-158) set the
balances on both scorecards to zero for all years. The change directed
by Public Law 118-158 is discussed in more detail in section IV of this

During the second session of the 118th Congress, no laws with PAYGO
effects were enacted with emergency requirements under section 4(g) of
the PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C. 933(g). Seven laws had estimated budgetary
effects on direct spending and/or revenues that were excluded from the
calculations of the PAYGO scorecards due to provisions excluding part
of the law from section 4(d) of the PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C. 933(d).
I. PAYGO Legislation With Budgetary Effects
PAYGO legislation is authorizing legislation that affects direct
spending or revenues, and appropriations legislation that affects
direct spending in the years after the budget year or affects revenues
in any year.\3\ For a more complete description of the PAYGO Act, see
Chapter 4, ``Budget Process,'' of the Analytical Perspectives volume of

Government Printing Office (https://www.govinfo.gov/app/collection/budget/2025/BUDGET-2025-PER).
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
\3\ Provisions in appropriations acts that affect direct
spending in the years after the budget year (also known as
``outyears'') or affect revenues in any year are considered to be
budgetary effects for the purposes of the PAYGO scorecards except if
the provisions produce outlay changes that net to zero over the

The PAYGO Act's requirement of deficit neutrality is based on two
scorecards that tally the cumulative budgetary effects of PAYGO

with the budget year. The 5-year and 10-year PAYGO scorecards for each
congressional session begin with the balances of costs or savings
carried over from previous sessions and then tally the costs or savings
of PAYGO laws enacted in the most recent session.
The 5-year PAYGO scorecard for the second session of the 118th
Congress began with balances of $1,697,668 million in 2025, $441,949
million in 2026, $71,317 million in 2027, and -$1,188 million in 2028.
The 10-year PAYGO scorecard for the second session of the 118th
Congress began with balances of $913,423 million in 2025, $241,837
million per year for 2026-3031, $54,818 million in 2032, and -$891
million for 2033.
Laws enacted during the second session of the 118th Congress
created balances on the 5- and 10-year scorecards of -$230 million and
-$275 million in each year, respectively. Public Law 118-158 set the
balances in all years of both scorecards to zero at the end of the
second session of the 118th Congress.
In the second session of the 118th Congress, 46 laws were enacted

PAYGO laws, 14 laws were estimated to have PAYGO budgetary effects

II. Budgetary Effects Excluded From the Scorecard Balances
A. Emergency Designations
No laws were enacted in the second session of the 118th Congress

paragraphs (4) and (5) of section 4(d) of such Act shall be zero.''
Accordingly, all years on both the 5- and 10-year scorecards are zero.
V. Sequestration Order
As shown on the scorecards, the budgetary effects of PAYGO
legislation enacted in the second session of the 118th Congress,
combined with section 21306(4) of Division B of Public Law 118-158,
resulted in no costs on either the 5-year or the 10-year scorecard in
the budget year, which is 2025 for the purposes of this Report. Because
the costs for the budget year, as shown on the scorecards, were set to
zero for the budget year, there is no ``debit'' on either scorecard
under section 3 of the PAYGO Act, 2 U.S.C. 932, and a sequestration
order is not required.\4\
