Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026

YourVoice.Now Summary

Congress would keep the federal government running through fiscal year 2026 with this two-part spending bill. Division A provides full-year funding for the Department of Homeland Security — FEMA, the Coast Guard, the Secret Service, cybersecurity, and more — along with $140 million for FAA air traffic controller pay raises and $30 million for the Supreme Court. Division B extends the existing continuing resolution to cover every other part of government that still lacks its own spending bill, and addresses the partial DHS shutdown that began in February 2026 by authorizing back pay for affected federal workers. One of the most notable provisions: the bill zeros out all funding for ICE and for CBP's border security operations entirely, meaning those programs would receive no new money under this version of the legislation.
