The federal budget expires on January 31. Congress is working to pass appropriations bills ahead of the deadline; however, significant work remains.
During past federal shutdowns, a wide range of services were affected, including public assistance programs, national park closures, the reduction of some food safety programs, the reduction of access to some veterans’ programs, and the inability to process federal housing and small business loans.
Please see our previous reports for the Office of Management and Budget’s (OMB) guidance to agencies and Agency Contingency Plans.
We will continue to provide updates.
