The U.S. House of Representatives is preparing to vote on a revised Senate funding bill that would extend federal funding through late January and provide full-year funding for certain programs, including SNAP food assistance. The bill also includes provisions for back pay to federal workers and reinstatement of those fired during the shutdown. 

Democrats are expected to oppose the measure due to the exclusion of increased Obamacare health insurance subsidies, a key demand. The Supreme Court has temporarily allowed the Trump administration to pause SNAP payments, a decision that could be reversed if the government reopens.

House to vote on funding bill that could reopen government

Today, the House will be in order 54 days after adjourning, President Trump took an early victory lap Tuesday, praising GOP leaders in the Senate and House. And congratulations to you and to John and to everybody on a very big victory. As lawmakers got creative navigating shutdown snarls to return to the Capitol. I'm on my way to D.C. Despite approving a short-term funding package in September, the House will now take up a revamped Senate bill to extend federal funding through late January, with other portions of the government funded for a full year, including SNAP or food assistance. Federal workers will also be granted back pay and those fired during the shutdown will be reinstated. Democrats will be strongly opposed. Democrats are expected to reject the measure after their key demand to extend the increased Obamacare health insurance subsidies was not included in a final deal. It doesn't address the health care affordability crisis. Democrat James Walkinshaw represents a Virginia district with one of the largest federal workforce populations in the country. How do you justify not reopening the government and paying people in your own district? Yeah, I think it's important to understand that for federal workers, the shutdown has been an exclamation point on 10 months of attacks they've experienced from the Trump administration. Labor Department employee Imelda Vila-Thomas is ready to get back to work. We've been wanting to go back to work from day one because we know how deep this affects the American people. Late Tuesday, the Supreme Court temporarily extended an order that would allow the Trump administration to pause a SNAP payments to food stamp recipients. However, that decision could be dismissed once the government reopens.
