2009 Omnibus Appropriations -- HR 1105

Congress completed work on a FY 2009 omnibus spending bill to fund the government through the remainder of the fiscal year and President Obama signed the $410 billion package into law March 11. The consolidated bill (H.R. 1105) consists of nine separate appropriations bills and provides $31 billion in spending above the FY 2008 levels, an 8% increase, and reflects a shift in priorities from the previous administration. It includes a roughly 4% increase in funding for Health and Human Services programs, including $9.3 billion for Children and Family Services; $53.9 billion for the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps); a 7% increase for the Department of Education; and $889.9 million for the Corporation of National and Community Service. See details of the omnibus appropriations package.

Congress has now turned its attention to the spending and tax priorities for FY 2010. Learn more about the FY 2010 budget process.
