Labor 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 Labor's discretionary request, not a total of the parsed lines above, and this page never adds the two together.
What this funds
In FY 2026, $23,282,000 was appropriated for foreign labor certification state grants. The Department anticipates that SWAs will receive an estimated 12 percent increase in workload across the H-2A and H-2B applications compared to FY 2025, which will continue the longstanding trend in both programs that will strain existing SWA resources, especially during the peak filling months of November through May. In FY 2026, the Department expects that the SWAs will inspect more than 76,000 non-rental housing units for agricultural workers employed under H-2A visas and reviewed and post nearly 49,000 H-2A and H-2B job orders to help recruit U.S. workers for available positions.
