No Confirmed House Budget Vote Scheduled As of early February 2026, the U.S. House of Representatives has not announced a specific date for voting on the fiscal year 2027 budget resolution or major spending bills. Recent government funding votes focused on averting shutdowns through late January packages, with the House passing final FY2026 appropriations on January 22, totaling over $1.2 trillion for key departments like Defense and Health and Human Services.

Recent Funding Timeline

The House cleared procedural hurdles and approved multibill packages in mid- to-late January 2026:

  • January 22 : Narrow 214-213 vote advanced rules for final bills; full passage followed with strong bipartisan support (e.g., 341-88 on a three-bill minibus).
  • These funded Pentagon, HHS, HUD, Transportation, Education, Labor, and Homeland Security through September 30, 2026, then moved to the Senate.
  • Earlier minibus votes in early January covered $174-180 billion for areas like Interior, Energy, and Commerce-Justice-Science.

Bill Package| Date Passed House| Key Agencies Funded| Vote Tally| Status 159
---|---|---|---|---
Three-bill minibus (Defense, HHS, etc.)| Jan 22, 2026| Defense, HHS, HUD, Transportation, Education, Labor| 341-88| Sent to Senate
DHS standalone| Jan 22, 2026| Homeland Security| 220-207| Sent to Senate

What's Next for Budget Votes?

Congress typically passes a budget resolution by spring to set spending caps, followed by 12 appropriations bills. Older reports mention House plans for a FY2025 resolution vote "next week" after Senate action in February 2025, but no February 2026 updates confirm new action. Speaker Johnson has navigated GOP divisions on cuts, as seen in prior tests of leadership.

Current Context (Feb 2026): With FY2026 funding secured, attention shifts to the next cycle amid President Trump's agenda. Watch for announcements via House schedules or C-SPAN—shutdown risks often accelerate timelines, but no imminent deadline looms now.

"The House plans to merge these four bills... before forwarding the comprehensive package to the Senate," per reports from the January passage—highlighting ongoing procedural dances.

TL;DR at Bottom: House passed FY2026 funding Jan 22; no set date yet for next budget vote. Check official calendars for updates.
