The United States federal budget for fiscal year 2019 runs from October 1, 2018 to September 30, 2019.

The United States Congress proposed three "minibus" appropriations bills prior to the beginning of the fiscal year. These bills would together contain nine of the 12 regular appropriations bills, accounting for 90% of federal discretionary funding, as well as a continuing resolution until December 7 for the remaining agencies. The three minibus bills are:[1][2][3]

  • The Energy and Water, Legislative Branch, and Military Construction and Veterans Affairs Appropriations Act, 2019 (H.R. 5895) was enacted on September 21, 2018.[4]
  • The Department of Defense and Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education Appropriations Act, 2019 and Continuing Appropriations Act, 2019 (H.R. 6157) was enacted on September 28, 2018.[5]
  • The Interior, Environment, Financial Services and General Government, Agriculture, Rural Development, Food and Drug Administration, and Transportation, Housing and Urban Development Appropriations Act, 2019 (H.R. 6147) was left until after the elections.[5]

The first two were enacted prior to the beginning of the fiscal year, accounting for five bills totaling 77% of federal discretionary funding. It was the first time five bills had been enacted on time in 22 years.[6]
