Seventy-five percent of the federal government is already funded through all of fiscal year 2019, according to the House Committee on Appropriations.
On Sept. 21, President Donald Trump signed a "Minibus" appropriations law that funded the Department of Energy; Military Construction and Veterans Affairs; and the Legislative Branch for the entirety of fiscal 2019, which does not end until next Sept. 30.
The Sept. 28 minibus included a continuing resolution to keep the rest of the departments funded until Dec. 7, 2018.
The two biggest departments, Defense and HHS, are already funded.
They would continue to work in the event of a partial shutdown, even though the Department of Homeland Security is not yet funded.
The delay in securing funding for the DHS and other departments is due, in large part, to a stalemate in Congress over proposed funding for President Donald Trump's border wall.
At the meeting, Trump said he would be "Proud to shut down the government for border security."
