And their decisions in early January could cause problems for the fiscal 2025 budget before work on that spending plan even begins.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<iframe title=\"The top national security stories of 2023\" allowtransparency=\"true\" height=\"150\" width=\"100%\" style=\"border: none; min-width: min(100%, 430px);height:150px;\" scrolling=\"no\" data-name=\"pb-iframe-player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.podbean.com\/player-v2\/?from=embed&#038;i=3xbx3-1530db4-pb&#038;share=1&#038;download=1&#038;fonts=Georgia&#038;skin=1&#038;font-color=auto&#038;rtl=0&#038;logo_link=episode_page&#038;btn-skin=3267a3&#038;size=150\" loading=\"lazy\"><\/iframe>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Fiscal 2024 began on Oct. 1, so federal agencies are already nearly three months into new spending cycles without appropriate changes in their funding plans. Pentagon leaders have said that means some new programs and purchases have been delayed until a new full-year budget plan is passed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When that will happen is unclear. Congress actually faces a pair of potential shutdown deadlines in the next few weeks.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The short-term spending deal approved in November extended funding for the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.militarytimes.com\/military-honor\/salute-veterans\/2023\/11\/08\/mcdonough-wants-va-to-reach-every-veteran-in-the-country\/\" target=\"_blank\">Department of Veterans Affairs<\/a>, the Department of Housing and Urban Development and a few other agencies until Jan. 19. If a budget deal is not reached before then, only those offices would be forced into partial closure.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/militarytimes\/news\/pentagon-congress\/2023\/11\/15\/house-votes-to-prevent-a-government-shutdown\/\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__inner\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__media\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\" src=\"https:\/\/one.sightlinemg.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/08\/AP23318603434624.jpg.jpg?w=300\" class=\"smg-interstitial-link__image wp-post-image\" alt=\"\" \/>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"smg-interstitial-link__content\">\n\t\t\t\t<span class=\"smg-interstitial-link__kicker\">Related<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t<h3 class=\"smg-interstitial-link__title\">House votes to prevent a government shutdown<\/h3>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p class=\"smg-interstitial-link__excerpt\">The Senate is expected to approve the proposal by week\u2019s end, effectively pushing a final showdown over government funding to the new year.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t<\/aside>\n\t\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Meanwhile, VA does have advance appropriations to keep hospitals, benefits offices and most other operations going past that date. So, a partial government shutdown in late January may have a limited impact on military and veteran families.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">But Defense Department funding \u2014 as well as Homeland Security and the rest of the government \u2014 only runs until Feb. 2. If a budget deal is not reached before then, troops\u2019 paychecks will halt, non-essential base services will shutter and family moves will be postponed.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Both Democrats and Republicans in Congress have said they hope to avoid that, but they remain far apart on a compromise.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">House Republican leaders have insisted that spending limits must be part of any full-year budget deal. White House officials have insisted that lawmakers follow the budget outlines agreed upon early last summer, as part of the debt limit extension deal.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Typically, work begins on the next year\u2019s federal budget plan in early February. In 2024, lawmakers may still not have last year\u2019s work finished by that time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Congress enters 2024 without a clear plan for federal spending,
