Congress may waive these requirements due to a declaration of war or a military conflict that causes an imminent and serious military threat to national security. 2023-08-16T18:30:23Z

[D-CT-3] CT D D000216 2 Further Additional Extending Government Funding Act This bill provides continuing FY2022 appropriations for federal agencies and extends several expiring authorities. Specifically, the bill provides continuing FY2022 appropriations to federal agencies through the earlier of March 11, 2022, or the enactment of the applicable appropriations act.

If the incoming revenue exceeds the expected shortfall, the excess revenue must be held in reserve and applied to the following two-week period. 2023-05-31T15:15:21Z
