Notes: *The methodology for calculating the fiscal year (FY) 2026 H-2B supplemental cap outlined in language from the House Homeland rider amendment (also known as the Bipartisan Visa En Bloc amendment) states that each employer that had an approved temporary labor certification from the U.S. Department of Labor in fiscal years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025, will receive the an exemption from the H-2B annual cap in a number that is equal to the highest number of certifications received in one of those five years. As of the time of writing, the full FY 2025 data on H-2B labor certifications were not available; thus, the five fiscal years of 2020–2024 were used to estimate the total number of H-2B workers who will be exempt from the annual cap. (The total number can be considered the FY 2026 supplemental cap.) It is likely that the estimate calculated here is a low-end estimate because FY 2020 had a lower-than-normal number of labor certifications approved due to the slowdowns and shutdowns that occurred at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic.
