Yes, if a new federal budget isn't passed by the due date of October 1st, the government uses a temporary spending measure called a continuing resolution (CR) to fund the government at the previous year's spending levels until a new budget is passed.

Yes, if a new federal budget isn't passed by the due date of October 1st, the government can use a temporary funding measure called a continuing resolution (CR) to keep the government funded. A continuing resolution allows the government to continue operating at existing funding levels until a new budget agreement is reached. This can be based on the previous year's budget or any other temporary funding arrangement agreed upon by Congress. The purpose of a continuing resolution is to provide temporary funding to prevent a government shutdown while negotiations and discussions on the new budget take place.
