If additional funding is not provided, funding for federal agencies and activities funded through all 12 of the regular annual appropriations acts will lapse on December 19. The resulting lapse in appropriations will require a shutdown of most federal agency operations, including those necessary to administer federal aid to state and local governments. On previous occasions, federal agency shutdown procedures have followed guidance provided by the Office of Management and Budget. This guidance directed federal agencies to implement contingency plans designed to guide operations during a government shutdown. Federal agency operations include administration of over 1,700 congressionally authorized federal grant programs. As shown in Table 12.3 of the OMB Historical Tables, the federal government currently provides over $720 billion annually in outlays to state and local governments through federal grants. The Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act (P.L. 116-136) provided additional funding to states and local governments to address needs arising from the COVID-19 pandemic, including $150 billion for the Coronavirus Relief Fund, and $5 billion for the Community Development Fund for grants provided under the Community Development Block Grant program. A federal government shutdown may cause disruption to, or may result in the cessation of, grant administration activities depending on the following factors: the timing and duration of a federal government shutdown; and the choices made by federal, state, and local officials in anticipation of, or during, a shutdown regarding grant program administration.
