Federal Government Shutdown: Who Gets Paid and Who Doesn't
Many federal workers will miss their first full paychecks on Friday, while others will feel the loss early next week, depending on their agency.
Federal workers are bearing the brunt of the government shutdown, with over 1 million of them going unpaid due to the Congressional dispute over funding federal agencies for the current fiscal year.
Meanwhile, lawmakers on Capitol Hill will still collect their paychecks during the impasse, as directed by the Constitution, although some have stated they won't accept their pay or will donate the money.
Shutdowns typically fall unevenly on those who work for the federal government.
