Congress enacted a continuing resolution on September 2, 2026, extending current funding levels through December 11 and eliminating the risk of a lapse in appropriations on October 1. Bipartisan majorities in both chambers approved the measure weeks before the new fiscal year, reflecting shared incentives to prevent disruptions ahead of the midterms after multiple funding gaps earlier in the cycle. With the legislation signed into law, traders assign a 98.2 percent probability to no shutdown by the deadline. Only an unforeseen reversal, such as a successful legal challenge to the enacted bill or an abrupt congressional reversal before October 1, could alter the outcome, though neither scenario has material support in current proceedings.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the United States federal government enters a shutdown due to a lapse in appropriations by the specified date, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".
A U.S. federal government shutdown is considered to have gone into effect when there is a lapse in appropriations that results in federal government agencies suspending non-excepted operations, typically including the furlough of non-excepted federal employees.
A lapse in appropriations occurs when Congress fails to enact, or the President fails to sign into law, legislation providing funding authority for federal government operations by an applicable deadline, resulting in a funding lapse. A lapse in appropriations where no federal agencies cease or suspend non-excepted operations will not qualify as a shutdown.
Partial shutdowns qualify. A shutdown affecting one or more, but not all, federal agencies constitutes a shutdown.
The following will qualify as a shutdown:
- An official directive from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) ordering heads of affected agencies to execute shutdown plans (e.g., an instruction to "execute plans for an orderly shutdown") that is in effect by the specified date and time
- An official operating status published by the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM) indicating that, due to a lapse in appropriations, federal government operations are suspended, reduced, or vary by agency (e.g., a notice that "due to a partial lapse in appropriations, Federal Government operations vary by agency")
The following will not qualify as a shutdown:
- A technical lapse in appropriations where OMB or other authorized authority directs agencies to continue normal or substantially normal operations
- Government closures or operating status changes resulting solely from Federal holidays, inclement weather, natural disasters, or other emergencies, unless such closures coincide with a qualifying shutdown caused by a lapse in appropriations
The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the United States government, including the U.S. Office of Personnel Management (OPM); however, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.Congress enacted a continuing resolution on September 2, 2026, extending current funding levels through December 11 and eliminating the risk of a lapse in appropriations on October 1.
