Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education: FY2018 Appropriations

Summary. This report offers an overview of actions taken by Congress and the President to provide FY2018 appropriations for accounts funded by the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education, and Related Agencies (LHHS) appropriations bill. This bill includes all accounts funded through the annual appropriations process at the Departments of Labor (DOL) and Education (ED). It also provides annual appropriations for most agencies within the Department of Health and Human Services (HHS), with certain exceptions (e.g., the Food and Drug Administration is funded via the Agriculture bill). Finally, the LHHS bill provides funds for more than a dozen related agencies, including the Social Security Administration (SSA). As of the date of this report, FY2018 annual appropriations for LHHS have not been enacted into law. The House and Senate appropriations committees have reported their respective versions of the LHHS bill to their parent chambers (H.R. 3358 and S. 1771).
