Consolidated Appropriations Act, 2026

What this does

The act funds much of the federal government for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2026, packaging separate appropriations bills into one measure. Division A is the full Department of Defense budget, including $54,538,366,000 for Army military personnel and $58,249,178,000 for Army operation and maintenance. Division B funds the Departments of Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education. Division D funds Transportation and Housing and Urban Development. Division E funds the Treasury, the Executive Office of the President, the Judiciary, the District of Columbia, and independent agencies. Division F funds the Department of State and foreign operations. Beyond the spending, the act carries policy divisions: Division G bars any funds from reaching the United Nations Relief and Works Agency; Division H treats the earlier continuing resolution as covering the appropriations lapse that began on or about January 31, 2026, and ratifies obligations incurred during it; Division I extends expiring authorizations, including the National Flood Insurance Program through September 30, 2026; and Division J extends a set of Medicaid and Medicare provisions, including telehealth flexibilities and the acute hospital care at home waiver. Section 6 pays $174,000 to Jill Marie LaMalfa, widow of Representative Douglas L. LaMalfa.
