The House Appropriations Committee has named the members of its Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, and Related Agencies Subcommittee, which has jurisdiction over Social Security's appropriations. The list is below. Note the Dave Obey, the chair of this subcommittee, is also chair of the full committee, even though he is listed as only an ex officio member of the subcommittee.
