What Happens If the Government Shuts Down? Here’s How It Could Affect You

During a shutdown, tasks considered ‘essential’ will still be carried out. But which operations come to a halt, and how does it affect public services?

What Happens in a Government Shutdown?​

During a shutdown, tasks considered “essential” will still be carried out, but “nonessential” federal workers will be sent home without pay. Congress passed a law in 2019 that guarantees back pay after a shutdown is resolved, but if the funding struggle drags on for weeks, it may put a strain on government workers’ pocketbooks.

Travel​

Transportation Security Administration workers are considered essential, and will continue to work, but their pay will be withheld until the shutdown is over. Overseas travelers should be aware that it may also become trickier to get a passport or visa, as processing times will be delayed.

The Military​

Service members will still work, but without pay until the shutdown is resolved. Moreover, some civilian contractors deemed nonessential may be laid off until more funds are appropriated.
Veterans will still receive benefits and have their appeals claims processed, but some services may be affected as regional offices will close.

Take the military for example the pay grades are fixed. It's not like they get overtime or commission that has to be calculated each pay period. Automatic direct deposit.

The politicians (both parties) leave these pain points in place for their lust for power.

I may be wrong but I bet the politicians get paid.

I think the last time military members weren't paid during a government shutdown was in the late 70's. Between 1980 and 2005, we didn't suffer during these times.

Trump to Host Congressional Leaders at White House

President Donald Trump is reportedly planning to meet with the "top four congressional leaders" at the White House on Monday.

“After reviewing the details of the unserious and ridiculous demands being made by the Minority Radical Left Democrats in return for their Votes to keep our thriving Country open, I have decided that no meeting with their Congressional Leaders could possibly be productive,” Trump said. “They are threatening to shut down the Government of the United States unless they can have over $1 Trillion Dollars in new spending to continue free healthcare for Illegal Aliens (A monumental cost!), force Taxpayers to fund Transgender surgery for minors, have dead people on the Medicaid roles, allow Illegal Alien Criminals to steal Billions of Dollars in American Taxpayer Benefits, try to force our Country to again open our Borders to Criminals and to the World, allow men to play in women’s sports, and essentially created Transgender operations for everybody.”
