During this Federal Shut Down, is Congress still getting their pay checks?

ALL Federal employees WILL receive FULL pay for any time the government CLAIMS to be shut down. Unless the shutdown includes a regular payday, they won't even be LATE in receiving a check. Based on the length of the last 2 'shutdowns', This will amount to a PAID vacation for most people actually affected. That said, it is only supposed to effect 'nonessential' employees. I would suggest there should be no such thing as a nonessential Federal employee.

Yes. It was on the news earlier. No reason for the President and Congress to worry...they will still be receiving their paychecks. Go figure.

I hope not. Because anyone that is a private citizen receiving a check from the government, won't. Retirees' are right there at the top of the list.

yes, of course

They may be late.

yep, of course.

good question - I bet it won't last long if they don't
