<h1>ADVANCE APPROPRIATIONS</h1>
ADVANCE APPROPRIATIONS
An advance appropriation is one made to become available one year or more beyond the year for which the appropriations act
is passed. Advance appropriations in 2023 appropriations acts will become available for programs in 2024 or beyond. Since
these appropriations are not available until after 2023, the amounts will not be included in the 2023 totals, but will be
reflected in the totals for the year for which they are requested.
The Congressional Budget Act of 1974 (31 U.S.C. 1105(a)(17)) requires inclusion in the budget of "information on estimates
of appropriations for the fiscal year following the fiscal year for which the budget is submitted for grants, contracts, and
other payments under each program for which there is an authorization of appropriations for that following fiscal year when
the appropriations are authorized to be included in an appropriation law for the fiscal year before the fiscal year in which
the appropriation is to be available for obligation." In fulfillment of this requirement, the accompanying table lists those
accounts that have either received discretionary or mandatory advance appropriations since 2021 or will request, in 2023,
advance appropriations for 2024 and beyond and cites the applicable authorizing statute.
The Continuing Appropriations Act, 2022 (division A of Public Law 117–43, as amended), which was in place at the time the
Budget was prepared, does not explicitly address advance appropriations for 2023. As a result, this Budget, as illustrated
by the accompanying table, assumes that final full-year appropriations would include language to make 2023 advance appropriations
available. This is in order to ensure comparability with annual funding provided under the Continuing Appropriations Act,
2022, and to depict accurately the 2023 discretionary request levels. In general, the Budget assumes that the 2023 level that
would be enacted for discretionary appropriations is equal to the 2022 advance appropriations that were enacted in the 2021
appropriations Acts. However, for the Department of Veterans Affairs and the Corporation for Public Broadcasting (CPB), the
2023 level (and 2024 level for CPB) is instead consistent with the 2023 advance apppropriations (and 2024 for CPB) that were
requested in the 2022 Budget.
For additional information on advance appropriations, please refer to the Budget Concepts chapter in the Analytical Perspectives volume.
