The Federal government will be funded through December 16th following passage of a continuing resolution in the Senate passed 72-25 on Thursday, September 29th and by the House by a vote of 230-201 on Friday, September 30th, hours before the midnight deadline.  Funding under the FY2022 Appropriations Bill enacted in March was due to expire at the end of the federal fiscal year on September 30th.

Both the House and Senate are in recess until November 14th, one week following the midterm election but an Omnibus bill is now being negotiated. If there is no resolution Congress will have to continue passing continuing resolutions effectively kicking the can down the road.
