Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025

The Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025 (HR 9747) provides continuing funding for federal agencies and programs through December 20, 2024, maintaining fiscal year 2024 funding levels for fiscal year 2025 operations. It continues funding for departments including Defense, Agriculture, Health and Human Services, and Homeland Security, while extending specific programs like the WIC food assistance program, Indian Health Services, and veterans' benefits. The bill includes targeted provisions to maintain funding for critical activities such as wildfire suppression, National Park security, and the National Flood Insurance Program. This temporary measure prevents a government shutdown while Congress works on a full fiscal year 2025 budget.
