House Committee Introduces Funding Bill Through Dec. 4 to Avert FY27 Shutdown

Summary
December 4, 2026 is the new stopgap deadline in the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2027, which the House Appropriations Committee introduced to prevent a Sept. 30 funding lapse.
The committee said the measure is a clean continuing resolution that keeps current funding in place while Congress continues work on full-year FY27 appropriations.
12 FY27 appropriations bills have cleared the full committee and 3 have passed the House floor, while the panel says the Senate has not advanced a single FY27 bill.
Key programs including SNAP, WIC, TANF, flood insurance, wildfire suppression and disaster relief would continue under the stopgap.
House GOP leaders had already released a similar Dec. 4 funding plan and aim to bring it to the floor next week, setting up the next funding fight before the midterms.
