SEC. 90003. FINDINGS REGARDING UNUSED UNEMPLOY-
MENT INSURANCE FUNDS. 
Congress finds the following: 
(1) On July 16, 2021, the Congressional Budget 
Office (in this section referred to as ‘‘CBO’’) reduced 
its projected cost of the extension of expanded unem-
ployment compensation as enacted in the American 
Rescue Plan Act of 2021 (P.L. 117–2). 
(2) CBO budget projections included mandatory 
outlays for the expansion totaling $144,000,000,000 
in 2021 and $8,000,000,000 in 2022. That estimated 
cost 
is 
$50,000,000,000 
less 
in 
2021, 
and 
$3,000,000,000 less in 2022, than anticipated in 
CBO’s March 2021 cost estimate. 
(3) CBO reduced its projections of those costs for 
two major reasons. First, several States have an-
nounced that they are discontinuing one or more of 
the components of expanded unemployment compensa-
tion before the expansion’s authorization ends in Sep-
2428 
† HR 3684 EAS 
tember 2021. In its original estimate, CBO projected 
that all States would participate in the programs 
until September. Second, because of the improving 
economy, the agency has lowered its forecast of the 
unemployment rate, resulting in fewer projected bene-
ficiaries for the programs, which also reduced pro-
jected costs. 
(4) It is estimated that there are approximately 
$53,000,000,000 in savings from the amounts in the 
Treasury originally estimated to be spent on unem-
ployment insurance funds (under the provisions of 
subtitle A of title II of division A of the CARES Act) 
not used by the States.
