Keeps government funded, extends many programs, and permanently lowers health insurance costs.
This bill would temporarily fund most federal government operations until October 31, 2025, preventing a shutdown. It would also extend many health, veteran, and other federal programs for a short period. Crucially, it would make permanent the enhanced tax credits that help individuals and families afford health insurance plans.
Today, many federal programs and government operations face a funding cliff on September 30, 2025, and enhanced health insurance tax credits are set to expire. After this bill, most government operations would be funded until October 31, 2025, and many expiring programs would be extended for a month. Crucially, the enhanced tax credits that help people afford health insurance would become a permanent part of the law, rather than expiring.
