- [Did the NDAA pass?](https://ndaa.ai/answers/did-the-ndaa-pass): As of October 1, 2026, no. The House passed H.R. 8800 on Jul 22, 2026, 216–212, but S. 4784 has not passed the Senate and no conference report has been signed into law. FY2027 NDAA deferred to lame-duck session as Senate adjourns.
- [When is the NDAA vote?](https://ndaa.ai/answers/when-is-the-ndaa-vote): As of October 1, 2026, no Senate floor vote on S. 4784 is scheduled. The House already voted on Jul 22, 2026. Leaders deferred the bill to the lame-duck session.
- [What is the NDAA 2027 status?](https://ndaa.ai/answers/ndaa-2027-status): As of October 1, 2026, FY2027 NDAA deferred to lame-duck session as Senate adjourns. The House passed H.R. 8800 on July 22, 2026, 216–212, authorizing a $1.15 trillion FY2027 defense policy bill — including right-to-repair provisions and $500M for a second destroyer.
- [What's in the NDAA 2027?](https://ndaa.ai/answers/whats-in-the-ndaa-2027): As of October 1, 2026, the live House text is H.R. 8800 ($1.15T) and the Senate Armed Services text is S. 4784 ($1.14T). Neither version is law. FY2027 NDAA deferred to lame-duck session as Senate adjourns.
- [What is the NDAA compromise?](https://ndaa.ai/answers/ndaa-compromise): As of October 1, 2026, no FY2027 NDAA compromise text has been filed. The status file’s expected path is a text negotiated by the four Armed Services committee leaders that would not require the Senate to pass S. 4784 on the floor.
- [What happens if the NDAA doesn't pass?](https://ndaa.ai/answers/what-happens-if-the-ndaa-doesnt-pass): As of October 1, 2026, FY2027 has already begun without an enacted NDAA. The NDAA is an authorization act, not the bill that appropriates money, so the Department of Defense can still operate under appropriations or a continuing resolution. Some annual policy authorities would not update until a bill is signed.
- [NDAA vs appropriations — what's the difference?](https://ndaa.ai/answers/ndaa-vs-appropriations): As of October 1, 2026, the NDAA authorizes defense policy and spending levels; a separate appropriations bill or continuing resolution provides the money. H.R. 8800 ($1.15T) passed the House, but government funding expires December 11, 2026 — that deadline is appropriations, not the NDAA.
