It was reported on Dec 18 that some lawmakers are not happy with the fact that the continuing resolution (CR) includes a pay bump (see https://www.politico.com/live-updates/2024/12/18/congress/congress-pay-raise-increase-00195089).

This market will resolve to "Yes" if congress's pay raise is removed from the CR, i.e. language blocking a congressional pay raise is restored, by December 20, 2024, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No."

This market will resolve based on whether the language is re-added in the CR at any point, regardless of if the CR eventually passes or not.

The primary resolution source will be the text of the CR, however a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.

This market will resolve to "Yes" if both the US House and Senate pass the same government funding bill by November 30, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

For this market to resolve to "Yes," the bill must actually pass both chambers of Congress (the US House and the US Senate). Passage of separate or different bills will not qualify; it must be the same piece of legislation.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the US Government. However, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.

Will House and Senate pass funding bill by November 30?

This market will resolve to "Yes" if the next U.S. government funding law enacted includes a provision extending the Affordable Care Act (ACA) premium/enhanced tax credits beyond December 31, 2025.

It will suffice if such a law continues the availability of ACA premium tax credits beyond December 31, 2025, in any form, including, but not limited to, shorter extensions, phased-down benefits, or reduced eligibility.

This market will resolve to "No" if such a funding law is enacted without any provision extending the ACA premium tax credits beyond December 31, 2025, or if no funding law is enacted by December 31, 11:59 PM ET.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the U.S. Government. However, a consensus of credible reporting will also be used.

This market will resolve "Yes" if the bill listed is signed into law by the President of the United States by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET. Otherwise, this market will resolve to "No".

A bill will only qualify if it receives the President’s signature and becomes law through the normal legislative process. Vetoed bills, bills passed only by one chamber, or those that fail to reach the President’s desk, will not qualify.

If no funding bill is signed into law by December 31, 2025, 11:59 PM ET, this market will resolve 50-50.

Partial or symbolic actions, such as introducing a bill without passage, will not qualify. The determination will be based strictly on the final passage of the funding bill that is ultimately signed into law.

If both chambers pass the qualifying bill on the same calendar day, the chamber whose roll call vote was completed earlier according to Congress.gov timestamps will be deemed to have moved first.

The primary resolution source for this market will be official information from the U.S. Government. However, a consensus of credible reporting may also be used.
