FY2012 Labor-HHS-Education Appropriations Bills - general support for HIV and viral hepatitis funding
Duration: January 1, 2008
to
September 30, 2011
General Issues: Budget/Appropriations , Health Issues , Medicare/Medicaid , Foreign Relations , Economics/Economic Development
Spending: about $150,500 (But it's complicated. Here's why.)
It can be tricky to figure out how much an organization spent on a particular lobbying engagement. The law only requires lobbyists to report the amount they were paid for federal lobbying each quarter rounded to the nearest $10,000—and if it's less than $3,000 in a given quarter (or less than $13,000 for organizations with in-house lobbyists), they don't have to disclose it at all. Plus, some organizations include spending that doesn’t belong in the report—for instance, money spent lobbying state governments or other legal work.
Agencies lobbied since 2008: House of Representatives, U.S. Senate, Office of Natl AIDS Policy, Office of Management & Budget (OMB), Health & Human Services - Dept of (HHS), White House Office, Centers For Medicare and Medicaid Services (CMS), Centers For Disease Control & Prevention (CDC), Health Resources & Services Administration (HRSA), Social Security Administration (SSA)

Disclosures Filed
Once a lobbying engagement begins, the lobbyist or firm is required to file updates four times a year. Those updates sometimes change which lobbyists are involved or add new issues being discussed. When lobbyists stop working for a client, the firm is also supposed to file a report disclosing the end of the relationship.
