The Puerto Rico Federal Affairs Administration in Washington announced on Tuesday that Congress has approved a stopgap funding bill to keep the federal government operating through December 11.[^1]

The measure prevents a government shutdown, ensuring federal agencies continue their operations for the remainder of the year. The PRFAA issued the statement on Tuesday to confirm the timeline extends to December 11.[^1]
