Editor\u2019s Note: This post was updated at 12:01 p.m. on Wednesday, October 1, 2025 to reflect the current shutdown state of the government. The included Datawrapper chart is also being continuously updated to include more agencies\u2019 contingency plans.<\/p>\n

As of 12:01 a.m. Wednesday morning, the federal government has run out of congressional appropriations and entered a shutdown. Each\u00a0 agency has prepared its own contingency plan to outline how its staff will proceed and which operations will continue under the shutdown.<\/p>\n

Federal News Network has compiled information from all currently available federal agency contingency plans. The Office of Management and Budget has stated<\/a> it is not compiling this information on its own website, as it has in years past. OMB instead directed <\/a>users to visit individual agency\u2019s websites to find guidance.<\/p>\n

In a Tuesday letter<\/a> to Sen. Joni Ernst (R-Iowa) regarding the impacts of a potential shutdown, Congressional Budget Office Director Phillip Swagel wrote, \u201cUsing information from the agencies\u2019 contingency plans and the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), CBO estimates that under a lapse in discretionary funding for fiscal year 2026 about 750,000 employees could be furloughed each day; the total daily cost of their compensation would be roughly $400 million.\u201d<\/p>\n
