Government Shutdown Avoided…For Now

By Published On: October 1, 2021Last Updated: May 24, 20240.9 min read

As you may know, last night, President Biden signed a continuing resolution that has prevented a widespread government shutdown. The continuing resolution generally funds programs at the same level that they were funded during fiscal year 2021.

It is important to note that the continuing resolution only funds the government till December 3, 2021. This means that Congress will need to pass a budget or another continuing resolution by December 3 to avoid a shutdown at that time.

Members, please know NOSSCR’s Government Affairs staff will continue to monitor this situation and keep you updated by email as developments warrant.

Here’s a roundup of recent articles about the continuing resolution, a potential shutdown, and how it connects to Social Security:
