The funding is divided into two yearly periods: up to $9,538,983 for the first period (Jan 3, 2025 to Jan 3, 2026) and up to $9,701,945 for the second period (Jan 3, 2026 to Jan 3, 2027). Payments are to be made via vouchers approved by the Committee and signed by the Committee’s Chairman, with expenditures governed by the rules of the Committee on House Administration.
