On September 26, the Senate joined the House in including an extension of the National Flood Insurance Program (NFIP) in a federal funding continuing resolution (CR) that will fund the NFIP and other federal programs until November 21. The NFIP would have expired after September 30 without Congressional action. The CR was passed 82-15.

This is now the 13th extension of the program since 2017 when its most recent long-term authorization expired.
