The deal calls for a vote on a bill related to the ACA credits by the second week of December. Democrats would get to pick which bill is voted on at a time when there is strong public opinion in favor of extending the subsidies, which more than 20 million Americans use to reduce the cost of health insurance coverage purchased on Obamacare marketplaces.
The deal also calls for a reversal of all permanent layoffs of government employees during the shutdown and protection of such so-called reductions-in-force happening until the end of fiscal year 2026.
The deal guarantees that all federal workers will be paid their normal salaries during the shutdown, when many of them were not allowed to work.
The package also includes provisions for having a bipartisan budget process and preventing the White House from using continuing resolutions to fund the government.
It would also fund, through September, the SNAP program, which helps feed 42 million Americans through food stamps.
