Provides short-term Treasury funding to keep Head Start programs operating at FY2025 levels if there is a funding gap before FY2026 appropriations take effect. The temporary funding follows the same authority and conditions as the prior full-year continuing appropriations law and applies only to Head Start projects and activities that were operating and funded in FY2025.
The funds stop being available on the earliest of: enactment of a new appropriation for the same purpose, enactment of HHS appropriations that omit funding for these purposes, or September 30, 2026. Spending must later be charged to the correct appropriation or fund when the underlying appropriation law is enacted. The Act is treated as if it took effect on September 30, 2025.
