According to the House Majority Leader website, the consolidated appropriations bill for Fiscal Year (FY) 2009 will be coming up on the floor of the House of Representatives on Wednesday of this week. This is the bill to fund most federal agencies, including Social Security, for the current FY. Most agencies have been working on a continuing resolution (CR) that allows them to spend only at the rate during the previous year since the beginning of the FY, October 1, 2008.
Of course, first the bill must clear the House Appropriations Committee and that Committee has not yet scheduled a meeting to consider the bill or released a proposed bill.
Stay tuned. Things should be happening soon.

Once this bill received final approval and is signed and completed... how will this affect SSA? Do you think we will be able to fill the vacant spots in the field offices throughout the nation? Or will these positons be absorbed by budget cuts?
