 However , FEMA subsequently determined that the $ 114 million left in the fund as of late September would suffice for the final week of the fiscal year , and the fund would thus not in fact run out of money . This led to the Senate passing a pair of continuing resolutions on September 26 : one lasting until October 4 , 2011 to give the then @-@ out @-@ of @-@ session House of Representatives time to consider the second resolution , which funded the government through the first seven weeks of the 2012 fiscal year , until November 18 , 2011 . The House passed the short @-@ term resolution on September 29 , 2011 by unanimous consent in an unusual example of passing legislation during a pro forma session . After the House came back into normal session , the second continuing resolution was passed by a vote of 352 – 66 on October 4 , 2011 .
