Current government funding expires at midnight on Sept. 30. The continuing resolution, if passed by the House of Representatives, would extend current federal funding levels through Dec. 16.
The funding affects two expiring programs: the medicare-dependent hospital program and the enhanced low-volume adjustment program, both of which facilitate healthcare access in rural communities.
The continuing resolution would also reauthorize the Food and Drug Administration’s user fee programs and provide emergency funding for Ukraine and disaster assistance.
