When will key federal programs and services return to normal?
Federal programs face gradual restoration with some assistance funds delayed until December; nearly 8,000 flights were canceled recently due to staffing shortages, officials said.
- On Monday, a small group of Senate Democrats and Republicans passed a deal that could reopen the federal government this week and fund it through Jan. 30, 2026.
- Many national parks remained at least partially open during the shutdown, but Smithsonian museums, the U.S. Capitol Visitor Center, the Washington Monument and the National Zoo in D.C. remain closed with no official return date.
- The FAA has canceled nearly 8,000 flights since Friday and plans to cut 10% of flights at the nation's 40 busiest airports by Friday, with Darby saying `I think if they do it this week, we can be very close to fully recovered by Thanksgiving.`
- Under the Government Employee Fair Treatment Act, federal employees are owed back pay at the earliest date possible after the lapse ends, and fired workers are expected to be rehired promptly.
- The funding formulas require at least four weeks, so LIHEAP allocations likely won't reach states until December or January, and the Trump administration is appealing to the Supreme Court to block full SNAP funding even as the USDA began some transfers.
