Upcoming Congressional Fiscal Policy Deadlines

Updated 6/11/26: On April 30, the House passed a Department of Homeland Security (DHS) funding bill, ending a partial shutdown that began on February 14 due to disagreements around funding for Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) and Border Security Operations (BSO). The measure funds most of DHS, except for ICE and BSO. Though these agencies received funding through the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, lawmakers provided additional funding through a reconciliation bill that was signed into law on June 10. To follow the progress of appropriations for the next fiscal year, see our Appropriations Watch: FY 2027.

The next few years will include several predictable fiscal policy deadlines, as various policies take effect, expire, or change. Many of the deadlines could bring additional costs if Congress acts irresponsibly, or they could present an opportunity for Congress to reduce deficits.
