The House is expected to file a Continuing Resolution Wednesday evening to prevent a government shutdown until November 21, The Hill has learned.
A vote on the House floor is expected Thursday.
House Democrats unexpectedly pulled the bill from rules consideration on Tuesday night over disagreements with Republicans over several issues, including how the extension dealt with health care and aid to farmers affected by the trade war with China.
Negotiations continued Wednesday with Senate Republicans in hopes of striking a deal before the House vote, which would allow the Senate to take up the bill as is.
The Senate is struggling to pass its own versions of spending bills ahead of the start of the new fiscal year on October 1.
