and agency shall be available for obligations incurred pur-
suant to subsection (c) of section 1341 of title 31, United 
States Code. 
‘‘SEC. 138. All obligations incurred and in anticipa-
tion of the appropriations made and authority granted by 
this Act for the purposes of maintaining the essential level 
of activity to protect life and property and bringing about 
orderly termination of Government function, and for pur-
poses as otherwise authorized by law, are hereby ratified 
and approved if otherwise in accord with the provisions of 
this Act. 
‘‘SEC. 139. (a) If a State (or another Federal grantee) 
used State funds (or the grantee’s non-Federal funds) to 
continue carrying out a Federal program or furloughed 
State employees (or the grantee’s employees) whose com-
pensation is advanced or reimbursed in whole or in part 
by the Federal Government— 
‘‘(1) such furloughed employees shall be com-
pensated at their standard rate of compensation for 
such period; 
‘‘(2) the State (or such other grantee) shall be re-
imbursed for expenses that would have been paid by 
the Federal Government during such period had ap-
propriations been available, including the cost of com-
pensating such furloughed employees, together with
† HJ 28 EAS 
interest thereon calculated under section 6503(d) of 
title 31, United States Code; and

‘‘(b) For purposes of this section, the term ‘State’ and 
the term ‘grantee’ shall have the meaning as such term is 
defined under the applicable Federal program under sub-
section (a). In addition, ‘to continue carrying out a Federal 
program’ means the continued performance by a State or 
other Federal grantee, during the period of a lapse in ap-
propriations, of a Federal program that the State or such 
other grantee had been carrying out prior to the period of 
the lapse in appropriations. 
‘‘(c) The authority under this section applies with re-
spect to any period in fiscal year 2019 (not limited to peri-
ods beginning or ending after the date of the enactment of 
this Act) during which there occurs a lapse in appropria-
tions with respect to any department or agency of the Fed-
eral Government which, but for such lapse in appropria-
tions, would have paid, or made reimbursement relating to, 
any of the expenses referred to in this section with respect 
to the program involved. Payments and reimbursements

in amounts provided in advance in appropriations Acts.

issued, for the Congressional Budget Office, 10 days after 
the date specified in section 105(3), and for the Office of 
Management and Budget, 15 days after the date specified 
in section 105(3).

Service Act (42 U.S.C. 247d–7e(e)(1)(A)) shall continue in 
effect through the date specified in section 105(3) of this

Hazards Preparedness Act (42 U.S.C. 247d–6a note) shall

115–245, the time covered by such division shall be consid-
ered to include the period which began on or about Decem-
ber 22, 2018, during which there occurred a lapse in appro-
priations.

of 2010 (2 U.S.C. 934) after adjournment of the second ses-
sion of the 115th Congress, and for determining whether a
