The stop-gap bill would allow Congress an extra week to reach a deal to fund the government to the end of September.
The legislation will first be debated in the House of Representatives on Friday, just hours before a deadline for funding federal agencies expires.
Republicans have been forced to make several concessions, the latest on funding for so-called Obamacare.
If the bill passes the House, as expected, the Senate will take it up and, if it continues its passage, it will be sent to President Donald Trump to be signed into law.
