Federal Budget for Aging FY05

According to the National Association of State Units on Aging (NASUA) , both House and Senate have passed omnibus spending bills covering all the remaining federal budgets for FY2005. The final conference report includes a cut of .8% for all non-defense non-security spending, so OAA funding will be subject to that reduction. After the cut $1,393,396,928 will be allocated for OAA, a small increase over last year's appropriation of $1,373,917,000.
