Temporary Government Funding and Extension of Key Programs Until December 2024

This law provides temporary funding for most federal agencies until December 20, 2024, preventing an immediate government shutdown. Citizens can expect the continuation of essential services, including nutrition programs (WIC), disaster relief, and critical veterans' benefits and health programs. The act also allocates additional funds for security related to the Presidential Inauguration and supports families at risk of losing rental assistance.
Key points
Federal government funding is secured until December 20, 2024, ensuring continuity of agency operations and benefit payments.

Additional funds are provided to maintain participation in the WIC nutrition program and to prevent the termination of rental assistance for low-income families.
The planned phase-in of reductions in Medicare payments for clinical laboratory tests is delayed, stabilizing funding for these medical services.
