2References to years on the PAYGO scorecards 

are to fiscal years. 

3Provisions 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.

OFFICE OF MANAGEMENT AND 

BUDGET 

Notice; 2024 Statutory Pay-As-You-Go 

Act Annual Report 

AGENCY: Office of Management and 

Budget (OMB). 

ACTION: Notice. 

SUMMARY: This report is being published 

as required by the Statutory Pay-AsYou-Go (PAYGO) Act of 2010. The Act 

requires that OMB issue an annual 

report and a sequestration order, if 

necessary. 

FOR FURTHER INFORMATION CONTACT: Erin 

O’Brien. 202–395–3106. 

SUPPLEMENTARY INFORMATION: This 

report can be found at https://

www.whitehouse.gov/omb/paygo/. 

Authority: 2 U.S.C. 934. 

Kelly A. Kinneen, 

Assistant Director for Budget. 

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. 

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 

website of the U.S. Government Printing 

Office (https://www.govinfo.gov/app/ 

collection/budget/2025/BUDGET-2025- 

PER). 

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 

emergency supplemental appropriations 

for the fiscal year ending September 30, 

2024, and for other purposes; 

• Public Law 118–63, FAA 

Reauthorization Act of 2024; 

• Public Law 118–124, Fiscal Year 

2024 Veterans Affairs Major Medical 

Facility Authorization Act; 

• Public Law 118–146, VSO Equal 

Tax Treatment Act; 

• Public Law 118–148, Federal 

Disaster Tax Relief Act of 2023;

• Public Law 118–164, Mountain 

View Corridor Completion Act; 

• Public Law 118–183, Colorado 

River Salinity Control Fix Act; 

• Public Law 118–185, Swanson and 

Hugh Butler Reservoirs Land

• Public Law 118–203, Federal 

Judiciary Stabilization Act of 2024; and 

• Public Law 118–210, Senator 

Elizabeth Dole 21st Century Veterans 

Healthcare and Benefits Improvement 

Act. 

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 10- 

year 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.

IV. Legislative Revisions to the PAYGO 

Scorecards 

Section 21306(4) of Division B of 

Public Law 118–158, the American 

Relief Act, 2025, states, ‘‘Effective on 

the date of the adjournment of the 

second session of the 118th Congress, 

and for the purposes of the annual 

report issued pursuant to section 5 of 

the Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act of 

2010 (2 U.S.C. 934) after such 

adjournment and for determining 

whether a sequestration order is 

necessary under such section, the 

balances on the PAYGO scorecards 

established pursuant to 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
