Requires House members' unspent office funds to pay down federal debt or reduce the deficit.
This bill would make sure that any money left over from House members' office budgets at the end of the year would be used to reduce the federal deficit. If there is no deficit, it would go toward paying down the national debt. This means U.S. taxpayers could see a small benefit from the redirection of unspent government funds. The change would start in the government's budget year 2026.
Today, any money left over from House members' office budgets goes back to the Treasury, but there's no specific rule about how it must be used. If this bill becomes law, starting in the government's budget year 2026, all unspent money from these budgets would be specifically set aside to reduce the federal deficit or, if there is no deficit, to pay down the national debt.
