Lawmakers have just one week left to reach a federal funding deal or trigger a partial government shutdown that would shutter some Defense Department and Veterans Affairs services.<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current federal funding runs out March 14, almost halfway through the current fiscal year. House Republicans in recent days have discussed the possibility of a six-month budget extension bill in lieu of a full-year budget for fiscal 2025, but it\u2019s unclear if Senate Democrats would lend support to the idea.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If a shutdown occurs, troops and essential defense employees would be required to continue working, but their paychecks would be halted<\/a> unless Congress passes legislation protecting those payments.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Non-essential programs \u2014 like base maintenance and family support programs \u2014 would be halted for the duration of a shutdown, as would some VA information lines and non-critical health services. Lawmakers are expected to spend most of the week trying to avoid those closures, and they hope to reach a deal before the Friday midnight deadline.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
