How this is counted
- The date comes from the Congressional Research Service (CRS) summary Congress.gov publishes for the most recent enacted continuing resolution. We copy the first sentence that says continuing appropriations run “through” a full date, and show that sentence word for word. If the summary does not give a full date, no date is shown.
- The days left are counted from today’s date in Washington to that date. The date is the one the law states; Congress can pass a new law at any time, and a later appropriations law can change what is funded. Any later appropriations law on this site is listed below the date.
- This tracker does not predict a shutdown and does not say what happens if funding lapses.
