HR 3785 United States House · 119th Congress

Forgotten Funds Act

The Forgotten Funds Act permanently rescinds unobligated discretionary funds from fiscal years 2021 and prior, directing these amounts to the Treasury's general fund specifically for deficit reduction. This affects federal agencies that held unused budget allocations, requiring them to return the unspent money rather than carry it forward. The bill makes no new program changes but redirects existing, uncommitted funds toward reducing the federal deficit.
