The U.S. House of Representatives on Monday will begin work to pass a Senate bill to fund the government as multiple agencies remain in a partial shutdown.

Several sectors of the government entered a partial shutdown just after midnight on Saturday despite the Senate’s passage of legislation hours earlier to prevent it. The shutdown is affecting the departments of Defense, Labor, Health and Human Services, Education, Transportation, Housing and Urban Development, and Homeland Security.
