Republican · OK-4
What H.R. 9770 does
H.R. 9770, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2027, is a continuing resolution that would keep federal agencies funded through the earlier of December 4, 2026, or the enactment of the applicable appropriations act. It would prevent a government shutdown if the fiscal year 2027 spending bills are not enacted by October 1, 2026.
Most programs would be funded at fiscal year 2026 levels, with exceptions for programs including WIC, Small Business Administration loan programs, FEMA's Disaster Relief Fund, the Indian Health Service and wildfire suppression. The bill would also extend several expiring programs and authorities, including the National Flood Insurance Program, the Temporary Assistance for Needy Families (TANF) program, authority for the District of Columbia to spend local funds, and the freeze on cost-of-living adjustments for Members of Congress.
