Continuing appropriations for fiscal year 2026 are established, providing funding to a wide array of federal agencies, including the Department of Defense, Health and Human Services, Veterans Affairs, and numerous other departments. The appropriations maintain the level of funding for ongoing projects and activities, ensuring that obligations incurred in 2025 are fully covered, while also allowing for the continuation of existing programs without new production or procurement beyond the 2025 levels. Restrictions are placed on the Department of Defense, prohibiting new production of items not funded in 2025, limiting increases in production rates, and preventing the initiation of new projects without prior 2025 authority. These limits are designed to preserve fiscal discipline while still enabling the defense sector to complete existing commitments and maintain readiness. Multiple health and Medicare programs receive extensions, including Community Health Centers, the National Health Service Corps, and various Medicare payment adjustments. The bill extends temporary funding for diabetes programs, telehealth flexibilities, and hospice care waivers, and it renews funding for the No Surprises Act implementation and other public health initiatives through October 31, 2025. Veterans Affairs programs are extended, covering nursing home care, transportation to VA facilities, financial assistance for low‑income veterans, and security enhancements for the U.S. Marshals Service. Emergency appropriations are provided for the Department of Justice, the Office of Management and Budget, and the U.S. Capitol Police, with specified amounts earmarked for protective operations and security upgrades. Administrative provisions establish an Office of Inspector General for the Office of Management and Budget, set reporting requirements for appropriations, and clarify budgetary effects, stating that the division’s impact will not be entered on PAYGO scorecards. The act also rescinds or extends certain balances, ensures continued availability of funds for specific programs, and outlines reporting and audit obligations to maintain transparency and accountability.
