Legal effect
Federal agencies are funded through 11 December 2026. There is no 30 September 2026 funding lapse.
What this establishes
- The measure was signed on 2 September 2026 and extends appropriations to 11 December 2026.
- Reported vote margins: Senate 90–6, House 370–48.
What this does not establish
- Full-year appropriations. This is a stopgap; the next deadline is 11 December 2026.
- Any change to Medicare, Medicaid or marketplace benefit rules.
Why it matters
It removes the 30 September date from every health-funding explainer on this site and moves the operative deadline to 11 December.
