Congress has advanced early stages of the FY2027 appropriations process, with House subcommittees and committees approving initial spending measures in early June 2026 following the recent enactment of FY2026 funding legislation and a reconciliation package. These steps build on the resolution of prior disputes over Department of Homeland Security funding that ended a partial shutdown in April. With the next funding deadline months away, lawmakers retain time for negotiations on continuing resolutions or full-year bills, supporting the current trader consensus reflected in the 55.5% probability for no lapse in appropriations by October 1. Scheduled committee work and bipartisan procedural patterns further reduce near-term shutdown risks.

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 has advanced early stages of the FY2027 appropriations process, with House subcommittees and committees approving initial spending measures in early June 2026 following the recent enactment of FY2026 funding legislation and a reconciliation package.
