Longest Federal Shutdown in History Ends, with Implications for Kansas Families
KAC Policy Advisors | November 18, 2025
The longest government shutdown in history ended last Wednesday evening after 43 days of Congress stonewalling a plan that would fund the federal government. They finally negotiated a deal to reopen and fund government agencies through January 30, 2026. The deal also funds the Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (SNAP) and WIC through September 30, 2026.
