What the document says

“For necessary expenses of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for operations and support, including for the E-Verify Program, $122,941,000”

Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5

The appropriation for U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services, the agency that decides applications for visas, green cards, asylum and citizenship. The account paragraph names the E-Verify program as an included expense. The sum is small next to the other operating agencies in this Act, and a proviso in the same account paragraph provides that it requires no reduction in the fees the agency charges applicants.

What the document actually says

“For necessary expenses of U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services for operations and support, including for the E-Verify Program, $122,941,000”

Making further consolidated appropriations for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, and for other purposes, Sec. 5
That sentence, in plain words

This agency gets $122,941,000 to run on. Part of it runs E-Verify.

What this is about

The agency decides who may live and work here. Most of its money comes from fees, not from this law. E-Verify checks if a new hire may work.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
