I am very late on referencing this, but perhaps it might still be of interest. The Coast Guard has published a brief budget fact sheet.
The “Appropriation Summary” compares FY2023 enacted with FY2025 request. The FY2025 request is lower than the FY2023 enacted. Historically the Coast Guard’s enacted budget is larger than the President’s request as bipartisan Congressional supporters tend to add things. It is impossible to compare to FY2024 enacted because no budget was enacted, just continuing resolutions. The Coast Guard also benefitted from the “Big Beautiful Bill” which addressed some costs that had been expected to be addressed in FY2025.
This makes it hard to meaningfully compare the two budgets, but as a retiree I have to ask how the retired pay appropriation could go from $2,044,414 to $1,210,840, a more than 40% drop?
