This continuing resolution keeps almost all federal agencies and programs funded at roughly fiscal year 2026 levels, under the same rules, through December 4, 2026, or until full-year spending laws pass, whichever comes first. It restricts new Defense Department weapons production beyond 2026 levels, protects funding for SNAP, WIC, Indian Health Service, wildfire suppression, FEMA disaster relief, and SBA loans, and extends flood insurance and livestock market reporting authorities.
It affects nearly everyone relying on federal services: government employees, contractors, farmers, small business owners, veterans, Native American communities served by Indian Health Service, and nutrition assistance recipients.
Without this measure, government funding would lapse, disrupting federal operations and public services while Congress continues negotiating final budgets for defense, homeland security, health, transportation, and other departments.
