A legislative package to end the government shutdown appears on track. A handful of Senate Democrats joined with Republicans to advance the bill after what's become a deepening disruption of federal programs and services. But hurdles remain.

The legislation includes funding for SNAP food aid and other programs while ensuring backpay for furloughed federal workers.
