The FY2027 President's Budget requests $43.5M for Fraud Prevention and Detection Account, within Homeland Security's Fraud Prevention and Detection Account account. That is up 0.0% on the FY2026 figure of $43.5M, which is a continuing-resolution annualized figure, not an enacted appropriation.
FY2025–FY2027
| Fiscal year | Basis | Amount |
|---|---|---|
| FY2025 | enacted | $46.0M |
| FY2026 | CR annualized | $43.5M |
| FY2027 | request | $43.5M |
The prior-year column is a CR annualized figure — the rate a continuing resolution funds at, not an enacted appropriation. The two are different numbers and are not interchangeable. Bases are separate columns and are never summed into one figure.
Homeland Security discretionary budget authority
From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Homeland Security's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
The Fiscal Year (FY) 2027 Budget includes $112.9M; 321 positions; and 287 Full-Time Equivalents (FTE) in discretionary budget authority for the U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS). The FY 2027 Budget also estimates $7.3B; 24,746 positions; and 22,375 FTE in total mandatory budget authority for the Immigration Examinations Fee Account (IEFA), the H-1B Nonimmigrant Petitioner Account, EB-5 Integrity Fund, and the Fraud Prevention and Detection Account. The funding enables USCIS to meet its mission requirements, including the following: ' Strengthen and effectively administer the immigration system. ' Strengthen National security safeguards and combat fraud. ' Reinforce quality and consistency in administering immigration benefits. Department of Homeland Security U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services The FY 2027 discretionary funding supports the E-Verify Program. E-Verify is a web-based system that allows enrolled employers to confirm the eligibility of their employees to work in the United States. The Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements (SAVE) program is funded within IEFA. Due to the similarities between E-Verify and SAVE, both programs use the Verification Information System and secondary IT systems and services. Shared costs are distributed between the two programs. USCIS is incorporating a phased-in user fee increase to $3.10 per verification request, regardless of whether the case involves additional verification requests. USCIS also eliminated fees for non-federal agencies to expand the use of SAVE in FY 2025 and FY 2026.

Linked contracts are a floor, not a census. Coverage is bounded by how distinctively a program is named and, for performer links, to RDT&E and Procurement — O&M and military construction publish no performers. Budget figures are FY2027 request dollars; contract figures are obligations. The two measure different things and must never be summed together.
