when is the government shutdown deadline 2025

The government shutdown deadline for 2025 is at midnight from September 30 to October 1. If Congress does not pass new funding legislation or a continuing resolution by then, the federal government will shut down starting at 12:01 a.m. on October 1, 2025. This is due to the failure to approve funding bills for the new fiscal year starting October 1. The deadline is strict, leaving no margin for error, as Congress typically passes these bills before the fiscal year starts to avoid interruption of government functions.
