Continuing Appropriations Act, 2014

Oct. 16, 2013 | H.R. 2775

This bill ended the 16-day Republican-led government shutdown that kept vital services behind locked doors for the public, paychecks out of the pockets of hundreds of thousands of federal workers, and pushed the economy to the brink of disaster. The Fiscal 2014 Continuing Appropriations and Debt Limit Suspension bill funds government operations through Jan. 15, 2014, and raises the debt ceiling to allow federal borrowing through Feb. 7, 2014. It also would provide for retroactive pay for federal employees who worked or were furloughed during that time. The bill passed.
