I’m pretty dependent upon my Social Security arriving each month, but I did read this morning that a shutdown would not stop the checks from being deposited. Rather selfishly, I felt some relief about that. But of course I empathize with those who will suffer from this utterly avoidable chaos. Thanks for keeping us informed, Ahmed.

Well our household is getting ready for a temporary furlough.. my wife is on a teleconference this minute with their upper management at the Veterans Benefits Administration about the shutdown and how it will impact them. My wife would work still but not get paid until the shutdown is resolved. Luckily I will still get paid since my agency is the only user fee funded agency and we don’t get appropriations from Congress
