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
Funds the Employee Benefits Security Administration, which protects private-sector retirement, health, and other benefit plans by issuing ERISA guidance, assisting participants, and enforcing fiduciary and reporting requirements.
Extracted from Employee Benefits Security Administration, p. 10. Verbatim; nothing here is paraphrased.
