On the horizon, government closure is looming: What to know about the closure, payments and more

The closure of the government from Wednesday appears to be possible as Democrats in Republican Congress pushes financing, health care and reshaping President Trump to the federal government.

Unless Republicans and Democrats in the Congress do not reach an agreement and pass funds by 11:59 pm on Tuesday, October will start with the first government closure in nearly seven years.

This will affect each agency, but many “basic” government jobs will continue. The fine details of what will be open and closed can differ from the previous closure, and the agency’s updated emergency plans have not been published.

“The most important variable in assessing the potential economic impact and the impact of voters all over the country depends on the length of closure,” said Rachel Snyderman, Managing Director of Economic Policy at the Party Policy Center. “The risks and effects associated with the closure increase significantly with an increase in their duration.”

“If the government closes next week, and the Congress finds itself coming to the negotiating table very quickly, and we are testing a period of credits within a few days, these effects will be less severe than if the negotiation takes two weeks,” Snyderman said.

Here is what we know and expect if the government closes on October 1.

What are the benefits that are still pushed?

Many direct payments will remain such as social security advantages, obstruction of old warriors and retirement from usual. The advantages of medical and medical care will continue.

These programs and benefits are funded by what is known as compulsory government spending, which does not depend on the work of Congress to finance them every year.

However, there may be delay in customer and management service, due to the leave that may affect support employees.

Food assistance payments will continue through the additional nutritional assistance program, previously known as “Stamps Food Stamps”, at first, but, as well as the women’s, infants and children program (WIC), they can be at risk of expanded closure.

“This is the place where I started relying on the closure period,” Snyderman said. “Sometimes these programs have balances that they are able to roll every year, which can maintain some services for days, weeks or months. They depend on those balances.”

On Friday, Reallyararpolitics said that a senior Trump administration official said that WIC may quickly run out of funding in October, and blame Democrats: “It is clear that the Democrats are fine with women and children losing the features of WIC.”

What closes and remains open to stopping the operation?

• closedSmithsonian museums and national zoo will continue from the public – although the zoo animals will continue to nourish and care for them.

• Opens: He said on Thursday that the US post service will be open and do not stop. The postal service is primarily funded by selling its products and services, not in tax dollars.

• Opens: The medical centers for the administration of the veterans, the outpatient clinics, and the veterinarian centers will be open during the closure.

• Not clear: National parks can be closed. During his closure under the leadership of former President Obama in 2013, they closed, but they remained open during the last 35 days in 2018-2019 despite the naked employees. “Most sites will be closed” to stop the operation, “said the National National Service Emergency Plan in March 2024. The National Park Service Hill was told that the plans are updated and “will be placed online when completed.”

  The New York Times reported that former supervisors in the park urge the Trump administration to close the gardens during the closure to prevent the kind of damage to the national sites that occurred in the closure 2018-2019.

• closed: Fox News stated that the public tours of the Capitol will be suspended. The White House tours were already suspended indefinitely due to President Trump’s construction of a new celebration hall.

• Opens:The Supreme Court is expected to continue in normal operations in the event of closing, a spokesman for the money that is not subject to the annual approval to maintain the operations through the short term.

Which government employees should work?

Many basic employees and government workers will be asked to work without immediate salaries during the closure, but the effects of closure may cause delay.

Air traffic staff and most of the Transport Security Administration employees will be asked to work, for example. Actual service members will be asked to work.

Other federal workers will be supervised, not allowed to work and not pay, and the exact detail that employees are determined by the agency.

The federal law approved in 2019 means that government workers who are neglected or working without wages are guaranteed when the government is funded again.

The Trump administration’s lifting of the federal workforce adds uncertainty to how the federal workforce works to stop the operation.

The White House management and budget office (OMB) told the agencies on Wednesday note to prepare for potential mass shootings in the event of closing, and direct them to “use this opportunity to consider notifications in strength (RIF) for all employees in programs, projects or activities” that are subject to financing financing, and it does not have another source of financing, and “does not fit the president’s experiences.”

She said that the beautiful big bill, which extended the tax cuts and also provided funding reinforcements to the Ministry of Defense and the Ministry of Internal Security, “provided significant resources to ensure that many of the priorities of the Trump administration continued without interruption.”

This indicates that these departments and agencies will be supported, but Snyderman said, “We really need to consider the details included in the agency’s emergency plans, because these emergency plans determine the levels of employment and programs that will be able to continue.”

OMB previously hosted a set of emergency plans from all over the federal government before the deadline for government financing in March. But a lot of shootings and “a thorn on the road” have occurred since the creation of these plans. OMB memo noted that the agency’s updated plans on August 1, but not all of them. OMB now says the agency’s emergency plans “only on the site of each agency” will be hosted.

Federal judiciary employees can also feel the effects of closing this year more than in the past.

There is only enough money in the US federal courts to finance the judiciary until Friday, October 3, but it may continue until October 17, according to a memorandum reported by Reuters from Judge Robert Conrad, director of the administrative office of the American courts. This is a “sharp change” from when the judiciary managed to maintain operations for a period of 35 days in 2018-2019.

A spokesman for the American Administrative Office said in a statement: “In the event that fees and balances are exhausted before Congress enacts a continuous decision or full financing for the entire year, the judiciary will then work according to the conditions of the Anti -deficit law.

How did we get here?

Congress funded the federal government on time only three times since the implementation of the current system in 1977, where the financing battles are often one of the points used by lawmakers to extract concessions from their political opponents.

Although Republicans keep a majority in both councils and the White House, any regular government financing bill will have to be from the two parties because it requires 60 votes to overcome a set of seat in the Senate – requires support from at least seven Democrats in the Senate, because Republicans in the Senate have only 53 seats.

The House of Representatives approved earlier this month a “clean” decision by Republicans to finance the government until November 21, which the Senate refused immediately as the minority of the Senate Chuck Schumer (DN.Y. The law in the huge Republicans earlier this year. Republicans argue that these are not related issues that must be dealt with separately, and they call some of them unreasonable.

President Trump, but then, identified a meeting with the two democratic leaders after the Council spoke Mike Johnson (R) and the majority leader of the Senate John Theon (RS.

Johnson previously canceled the schedule of voting days in the House of Representatives on September 29 and 30, as it aims to disturb the Democrats in the Senate to accept the Stopgap that was passed in the House of Representatives.

The Senate is expected to vote again on the Stopgap, supported by the House of Representatives, backed by Republicans again before the closure date.
