The House and Senate convene today at noon and 3 p.m., respectively. Democrats will kick off their annual policy retreat in Cambridge, MD on Wednesday.

The current continuing resolution (CR) is set to expire on Feb. 8. The House is expected to take up another temporary government funding bill as early as Tuesday. At this writing, bill text for the CR has not been released, but the stopgap will reportedly run through March 22 to give lawmakers more time to work out a deal on DACA, discretionary budget caps, and a long-term funding bill for fiscal year 2018.

Based on the chatter from Capitol Hill, the CR may also include disaster assistance funding and a few minor healthcare provisions. Democrats are expected to support the forthcoming CR.

Here’s what else is in store for the week:

Lawmakers will take up consideration of H.R. 4547, a bill that would amend the Social Security Act to strengthen the representative payment program; and H.R. 1153, the Mortgage Choice Act of 2017, a bill that would improve the definitions provided for points and fees in connection with a mortgage transaction.
