The Chairman of the Committee on the Budget of the Senate
may revise the allocations of a committee or committees,

for one or more bills, joint resolutions, amendments,
amendments between the Houses, motions, or conference reports
relating to welfare legislation, which may include a cap on
means-tested benefits including cash payments, medical
benefits (which may be calculated by the average insurance
value), refundable tax credits, housing subsidies, or food
subsidies, for which households are eligible, at $30,000 per

for that purpose, provided that such legislation would not
increase the deficit over either the period of the total of
fiscal years 2016 through 2020 or the period of the total of
fiscal years 2016 through 2025.
