Venue details: U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ways and Means in Washington DC metro area

Description
The Committee on Ways and Means is a committee of the United States House of Representatives. It has jurisdiction over all taxation, tariffs and other revenue-raising measures, as well as a number of other programs including:

  • Social Security
  • Unemployment benefits
  • Medicare
  • Enforcement of child support laws
  • Temporary Assistance for Needy Families, a federal welfare program
  • Foster care and adoption programs


The U.S. Constitution requires that all bills regarding taxation must originate in the House of Representatives, and House procedure is that all bills regarding taxation must go through this committee. These stipulations make this House committee particularly powerful, especially in comparison with its Senate counterpart, the U.S. Senate Committee on Finance.
