Iraq and Afghanistan Service Grants Program

B1: The amount on line 1230 is the required sequester amount in dollars assuming that the program requires appropriations equal to the sum of the amounts listed on lines 1200 and 1250. Due to the indefinite nature of this account, the sequester amount in dollars may not be equal to the sequester amount in dollars reflected in the OMB Sequestration Preview Report to the President and Congress for Fiscal Year 2025. During the remainder of the fiscal year, if the necessary appropriation is different from the amounts listed on lines 1200 and 1250, the amount in dollars currently reflected on line 1230 is hereby automatically apportioned as follows: The agency will achieve the reduction by applying a 5.7% reduction to all grants issued from this account through the end of the fiscal year which had initial disbursements in fiscal year 2025.

B2: P.L. 116-260, Consolidated Appropriation Act repealed this authority as a separate Treasury Account Symbol as of July 2024, moving these grants as part of expanded eligibility under the Pell Grant Program.  This authority requested is an upward adjustment to existing obligations made prior to repeal in those previous award years and is appropriately sourced from this account.
