This reading edition presents the supporting record, including dates, limits and open questions. It preserves the recorded findings; a source note is not a certification that every claim is settled.

- December 18, 2025
- Table
- Table 1, printed page 3 (PDF page 6)
- Scope
- The 21 events listed by this CRS edition; not a complete current FY2026 status or every agency-specific lapse. Later events not checked.
- Counting
- Full days after budget authority expired and before new authority was enacted. Next-day enactments with no full gap day are excluded.
- Interpretation
- A funding gap is not itself proof of a full government shutdown, a service-level effect, dollar cost, or responsibility of a particular official.
- Source correction
- Summary text says November 12, 2015 for FY2026; Table 1 says November 12, 2025. Use the internally consistent Table 1 date, preserving this discrepancy.
