Federal agencies fail to report spending as lawmakers plan ahead
- As of May 2025 in Washington, D.C., Congress is in the process of drafting the twelve annual funding bills that allocate federal resources for fiscal year 2026.
- This process follows a fiscal year 2025 budget that lawmakers never passed, relying instead on three Continuing Resolutions that extended funding through September 30.
- A recent Continuing Resolution required agencies to report by April 29 on allocating funds over the next six months, but many have failed to provide complete plans.
- Democrats criticized the reports as “inconsistent and inadequate,” highlighting the Department of Health and Human Services’ plan, which lacked detailed funding allocations for many smaller programs.
- Without full and clear spending plans, appropriators cannot accurately draft the fiscal year 2026 package, which President Trump has urged to cut climate change and diversity program funding.
