Why is the Jan. 30, 2026 deadline significant?

Question

Accepted Answer

Jan. 30, 2026 is when the continuing resolution enacted Nov. 12, 2025 expires. This CR extended funding through Jan. 30 for agencies that had not yet received full-year appropriations. If Congress does not pass new funding by Jan. 30, those agencies face another shutdown. After the Jan. 8 House passage and Jan. 14 Senate passage of the three-bill package, four of the 12 annual appropriations bills remain unresolved, including the controversial Homeland Security bill. Congress must either pass full-year bills for remaining agencies or enact another CR before Jan. 30 to avoid a partial government shutdown.
