While some agencies that support the uniformed services and veteran communities have full-year funding for FY 2026, others remain dependent on temporary funding set to expire Jan. 30.

What Congress does before that deadline will determine whether funding continues uninterrupted for some servicemembers, their families, and the civilian workforce that supports them.

Communities With Full-Year Funding
Enacted FY 2026 appropriations include funding for:

• Veterans and survivors, through accounts supporting the VA.
• Military construction, including facilities that support readiness and quality of life across military installations. 
• The Department of Commerce, which includes the NOAA Commissioned Corps. Communities Still Operating Under Temporary Funding

Other major parts of the uniformed services community are still operating under a continuing resolution (CR) because their FY 2026 appropriations bills have not been enacted.

These include:

• The Department of War, which includes active duty military servicemembers, the National Guard and Reserve, and the civilian workforce responsible for supporting their readiness, training, and operations.
• The Coast Guard, including pay, operations, and mission execution for Coast Guard personnel (operating under the Department of Homeland Security).
• The U.S. Public Health Service, whose commissioned officers support public health readiness and federal response missions (Operating under the Department of Health and Human Services).
