If a new federal budget isn't passed by the due date of October 1st, does the government use the previous years budget temporarily?

1 answer

Yes, if a new federal budget isn't passed by the due date of October 1st, the government uses a temporary spending measure called a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government at the previous year's spending levels until a new budget is passed. This is done to avoid a government shutdown and to ensure that essential services are still provided. However, a CR is only a short-term solution and does not provide the same level of certainty and stability as a full budget.
