To provide for a limitation on availability of funds for Department of Health and Human Services, Centers for Disease Control and Prevention Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program for fiscal year 2024.
HR 1970 sets a funding cap of $55,358,000 for the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention's Energy Employees Occupational Illness Compensation Program for fiscal year 2024. This bill directly affects the program that provides compensation to current and former energy workers who developed illnesses due to job-related exposure. The key provision is a strict limit on available funds, preventing any spending above this amount for the program during FY2024. The bill does not alter eligibility or benefit levels but restricts total annual funding.
