Time is running out for Congress to pass a federal spending bill for fiscal year 2024. If lawmakers don’t act by the end of Friday, November 17, many federal government operations will grind to a halt. However, essential services and certain payments, including Social Security benefits, would continue.
A shutdown could disrupt the lives of many Americans, particularly federal employees, who would not be paid.
