The measure funds most government operations through January 30 and reinstates federal employees affected by recent layoffs. It also includes specific long-term provisions, restoring SNAP food assistance and funding for the Department of Veterans Affairs through fiscal year 2026. The package also includes a December Senate vote on extending Affordable Care Act subsidies to prevent premium increases.With eight Democrats joining Republicans, this procedural vote clears the way for a final Senate vote. The bill must then be passed by the House of Representatives and sent to President Donald Trump for signature to officially reopen federal services and end weeks of disruption.
