Judiciary Funding Runs Out; Only Limited Operations to Continue

Monday, October 20, 2025

The judicial branch announced that beginning on Monday, Oct. 20, 2025, it will no longer have funding to sustain full, paid operations. Until the ongoing lapse in government funding is resolved, federal courts will maintain limited operations necessary to perform the Judiciary’s constitutional functions.  More information is available at the U.S. Courts public website.

The U.S. Bankruptcy Court for the District of Oregon will continue to maintain regular business hours, process filings, and hold all hearings as currently scheduled.  Parties should be aware that the court cannot issue any refunds until the current lapse in appropriations has ended.
