Overview

  • The House passed the package 222–209 after the Senate cleared it 60–40 with eight Democrats joining Republicans.
  • The law funds the government through Jan. 30, 2026, pauses planned federal layoffs to that date, and guarantees SNAP funding through Sept. 30, 2026.
  • Agencies are reopening with retroactive pay due to begin within days and target completion by mid- to late November, according to administration timelines.
  • Transportation officials ordered up to a 10% flight reduction at 40 airports during the shutdown and aim to lift those limits within a week as air-traffic staffing stabilizes.
  • The core dispute over extending enhanced ACA subsidies—affecting roughly 20–24 million people—was left out of the deal and is slated for separate consideration in December.
