DC TAG and big brutal bill

[Anonymous]

Anyone know. Did DC TAG get cut?

AI says there is no impact and it isn’t listed in the text.

I could be wrong but I think DCTAG is in the still-pending FY26 budget bill. This big ugly bill was reconciliation, a different piece of legislation.

So do we get it this fall regardless of what the FY26 bill says?

The FY26 appropriations bill will require 60 votes, so likely safe.

The newest appropriations bill (https://appropriations.house.gov/sites/evo-subsites/republicans-appropriations.house.gov/files/evo-media-document/fy26-financial-services-and-general-government-subcommittee-mark.pdf) has it cut to 20million from 40 million as it has been since 2016.

We got the 5k credit for this fall semester already. For future semesters, it will be a nice-to-have but we are not counting on it.

Don’t use AI to read legislation.

Yup, both true. The upshot, I assume, is that the HHI cap on eligibility will come down significantly.
