Both the Senate and House are expected to pass a 6 month Continuing Resolution (CR) for FY 2013 which would fund all discretionary programs through March 27, 2013.  The programs would be funded 0.6% above FY 2012 levels.  This would mean no new programs would be started and no programs would be eliminated.  Please see the NASFAA article at the below link.
