This figure was parsed from Justice's FY2027 Congressional Justification, not from a standard budget exhibit. It is approximate and it is not summable with other lines. It is published so you can check it: the citation below names the exact page it was read off. Where a dollar figure matters, verify it there before using it.

The FY2027 President's Budget requests $477.6M for Claims, customs and general civil matters, within Justice's Salaries and Expenses account. That is up 15% on the FY2026 figure of $414.6M, which is the enacted appropriation.

From the OMB Public Budget Database — clean, summable, and the figure to cite for an agency total. It is the whole of Justice's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
