Continuing Appropriations and Extensions and Other Matters Act, 2026

This bill keeps the federal government funded at current spending levels starting October 1, 2025, through October 31, 2025, or until new funding bills are passed, to avoid a government shutdown. It permanently extends a tax credit that helps people pay for health insurance bought through a health insurance exchange and reverses certain changes from another law that had cut Medicaid funding. The bill also provides extra money for things like the Corporation for Public Broadcasting and security for federal officials, lets Washington, D.C., spend its own local money based on its budget, limits the ability of the Office of Management and Budget to hold back funds that Congress has approved, and extends several programs related to health care, veterans, homeland security, and agriculture that are set to expire.
