When does government funding run out?
Current government funding runs through Sep 30, 2026. The federal fiscal year always ends September 30; if the twelve appropriations bills are not law by the deadline, Congress must pass a continuing resolution or funding lapses into a shutdown. The tracker follows both.
What happens if the National Security-State bill does not pass before the deadline?
Its departments would run on a continuing resolution at the prior year's levels, or face a funding lapse if no stopgap passes. Congress typically bundles late bills into packages or extends funding with CRs.
