Updated 2/13/2024: On the morning of Tuesday, Feb. 13, the Senate passed an amended version of a $95 billion national security supplemental that includes funds for Ukraine, Israel, Taiwan, and operations in the Red Sea. Previously, the Senate failed to advance a $118.3 billion national security supplemental that included funds for Ukraine, Israel, and other defense and border security priorities, so it was reconsidered without the border security provisions. The House’s new $17.6 billion Israel supplemental was defeated under suspension of the rules on Tuesday, Feb. 6.
On Jan. 18, the House and Senate both passed a third continuing resolution (CR) for fiscal year 2024 to avoid a partial government shutdown at midnight on Friday, Jan. 19. The President signed the CR on Jan. 19. The new measure would extend the “laddered” approach from the previous CR, with the first set of appropriations bills expiring on Friday, March 1: Agriculture, Energy-Water, Military Construction-VA, and Transportation-HUD (these were previously set to expire Jan. 19). The second set of appropriations bills would expire a week later, on Friday, March 8: Commerce-Justice-Science, Defense, Financial Services-General Government, Homeland Security, Interior-Environment, Labor-HHS-Education, Legislative Branch, and State-Foreign Operations bills (these were previously set to expire Feb. 2).

Congressional leaders announced a deal on topline appropriations levels for fiscal year 2024 on Sunday, Jan. 7, which could pave the way for completion of appropriations in the coming weeks, but some opposition remains. The agreement provides for a total of $773 billion in nondefense discretionary spending, including $704 billion in base nondefense spending and $69 billion in side deals, and $886 billion in defense spending.
The new fiscal year began on October 1, and Congress struggled to enact a CR by the end of September to avoid a government shutdown. The House initially considered a CR with border security provisions attached, but it failed to pass. Lawmakers ultimately enacted a CR through Nov. 17 that lacked the supplemental funding for Ukraine favored by Senate leaders. However, Ukraine funding, supplemental funding for Israel, border security, and supplemental funding for certain domestic priorities are likely to be considered as appropriations for FY 2024 are completed.
The Biden administration has released supplemental funding requests of $106 billion for national security priorities and $56 billion for domestic programs. The Senate Appropriations Committee released a $110.5 billion national security supplemental that included funding for Ukraine, Israel, and U.S. border security in early December, but it failed to advance on a procedural vote.
With the enactment of the Fiscal Responsibility Act (FRA), appropriations bills were marked up in the House and Senate in June and July. The FRA caps total base discretionary spending at $1.590 trillion for FY 2024, with base defense spending capped at $886 billion (a 3 percent increase from FY 2023) and base nondefense spending capped at $704 billion (up to a 9 percent decrease from FY 2023, depending on how it is measured).
As we did last year, we’ll be tracking the bills as they move from committee to the House and Senate floor and onto the President’s desk.
The table below shows the status of each appropriations bill. To learn more about the appropriations process, read our Appropriations 101 paper.

As we explain in Appropriations 101, the House and Senate Appropriations Committees approve 302(b) spending levels for each subcommittee after the topline 302(a) levels are determined by the Budget Committees. Below is an excerpt (click here to read the full report).
The table below compares actual funding for FY 2023 with the FY 2024 302(b) allocations from the House and Senate.

Sources: House Appropriations Committee, Senate Appropriations Committee, CBO estimate of H.R. 2617 (FY 2023 omnibus), Office of Management and Budget, CQ.*The President’s FY 2024 budget proposes $1.726 trillion in discretionary funding partially offset by $30.6 billion in changes in mandatory spending programs (CHIMPs).
^The Senate 302(b) totals reflect the cap as enacted in the Fiscal Responsibility Act; the House is expected to limit its total to the FY 2022 level. New Senate allocations with emergency spending and other revisions that were filed on September 12 total $1.652 trillion and include $36.7 billion for emergency spending, $20.4 billion for disaster relief, and $2.65 billion for wildfire suppression. Emergency spending is distributed as follows: $10.8 billion for Transportation-HUD, $8 billion for Defense, $4.5 billion for Labor=HHS-Education, $4.3 billion for Homeland Security, $3.25 billion for State-Foreign Operations, $2.25 billion for Commerce-Justice-Science, $2.195 billion for Interior-Environment, and $1.365 billion for Energy-Water. Disaster relief is spending is allocated to Homeland Security ($20.261 billion) and Financial Services-General Government ($143 million). All $2.65 billion in fire suppression spending is allocated to Interior-Environment.
As Congress considers appropriations bills, it is important that lawmakers avoid budget gimmicks and contemplate the longer-term trajectory of discretionary spending.
