The federal government is currently funded only through January 30, 2026 , for most agencies, under the latest short-term funding deal passed after the 2025 shutdown.

Funding timeline

  • The November 2025 funding bill ended the record 43-day government shutdown and restored funding for most federal operations at existing levels but only on a temporary basis.
  • That measure provides full‑year funding for Agriculture, Military Construction and Veterans Affairs, and the Legislative Branch, but uses a short-term extension for other agencies that expires January 30, 2026.

What happens after January 30?

  • If Congress passes new full‑year appropriations before or by January 30, the government remains funded through the end of fiscal year 2026 (September 30, 2026) for those agencies.
  • If Congress fails to act, funding authority for the agencies covered only by the short‑term measure lapses on January 30, creating the risk of another partial government shutdown.

In practical terms: right now, most of the federal government is on a short leash, funded only until January 30, 2026, while a few major areas already have full‑year funding locked in.

TL;DR: The latest deal funds much of the government only until January 30, 2026; after that, Congress must act again to avoid another shutdown for the agencies still on temporary funding.
