Notice to Vendors and Contractors

As a result of the current lapse in appropriations/government shutdown, beginning Monday, October 20, 2025, the United States District Court for the Eastern District of Washington (District Court) will be unable to make invoice payments until such time as funding is restored.  The District Court anticipates that vendor services will continue uninterrupted throughout the duration of the shutdown and will resume payment for goods and services received immediately upon the passage of budget legislation or a continuing resolution is enacted by Congress. Please review the District Court’s Pre-Lapse in Appropriations Notice to Contractors and email finance@waed.uscourts.gov for further information or guidance.
