Fiscal Year Memo #2026-10: Potential Federal Government Shutdown
This memo provides information and guidance in the event of a federal shutdown resulting from Congress failing to enact a new fiscal year budget or authorize a continuing resolution. A shutdown could create challenges for certain spending accounts in the General Federal Grants Fund, revenue collected through federal reimbursement, and for programs run and funded primarily by the federal government. We are asking departments for a quick turnaround, with responses to this memo due on Thursday, January 29, 2026 by 5:00 pm.
Please note that to facilitate the collection of information, we are asking agencies to submit their exercise using a newly created template. We hope that this will help us standardize responses to this exercise and minimize follow ups with agencies.
