Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies Appropriations Act, 2026

H.R. 5304 is an appropriations bill that would provide federal funding for fiscal year 2026 to three major departments and several related agencies. The bill allocates money to the Department of Labor for employment training, veterans' services, workplace safety, and labor statistics. It funds the Department of Health and Human Services for healthcare programs including the CDC, National Institutes of Health, Medicare and Medicaid, and mental health services. The Department of Education would receive funding for K-12 education programs, special education, higher education, student financial aid, and support for historically Black colleges and universities.

The bill also provides appropriations to related agencies such as the Social Security Administration, National Labor Relations Board, and various commissions that oversee labor and healthcare programs. If enacted, this funding would support millions of Americans who rely on these departments' services, from students receiving federal aid to workers covered by occupational safety standards to seniors and low-income individuals receiving Medicare and Medicaid benefits. The bill is currently under consideration in the House Committee on Appropriations and has not yet been voted on by the full House.
