On November 12, the President signed into law H.R. 5371, the Fiscal Year 2026 Continuing Appropriations, Agriculture, Legislative Branch, Military Construction-Veterans Affairs and Extensions Act, ending a 43-day federal government shutdown. The bill funds the Census Bureau through January 30, 2026. In addition, the bill reinstates federal employees who were laid off during the government shutdown. Throughout the shutdown, the Census Bureau had maintained only limited operations, mostly related to 2026 Census Test preparations. At the end of November, the outlook for consideration of the final Fiscal Year 2026 Commerce, Justice, Science (CJS) Appropriations Act, which funds the Census Bureau through the balance of 2026 , was unclear.

Several press accounts reported that Congress could consider the CJS bill as part of a “minibus” spending package that includes other appropriations bills. The Census Project will release information as it becomes available regarding progress on the FY 2026 CJS appropriations bill.
