What the document says

“Each department or agency funded in this or any other appropriations Act for fiscal year 2026 shall, no later than 60 days after enactment of this Act, report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate on funds that are allotted and available for obligation as of the end of the reporting period and on obligations as of the end of the reporting period”

Making continuing appropriations and extensions for fiscal year 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

Section 416 of division D reaches beyond its own division to every agency funded for fiscal year 2026. Reports are broken out by program, project and activity, by the public law that provided the money, and by period of availability, and are sent again on the fifteenth of every month while the money remains available.

What the document actually says

“Each department or agency funded in this or any other appropriations Act for fiscal year 2026 shall, no later than 60 days after enactment of this Act, report to the Committees on Appropriations of the House of Representatives and the Senate on funds that are allotted and available for obligation as of the end of the reporting period and on obligations as of the end of the reporting period”

That sentence, in plain words

Each agency must say what money it got. It must also say what it has spent.

What this is about

The first report is due sixty days after the law is signed. After that one comes every month. It shows the money by program.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
