If the federal government shuts down Saturday, numerous publicly funded agencies will stop work and their employees won’t be paid, but Social Security checks will still go out.
Social Security is considered a mandatory program, and it isn’t funded by the shorter-term appropriations bills passed by Congress and signed by the president. That means its operations and funding don’t stop when the government shuts down.
That’s important for a large proportion of Americans, as about 67 million people receive monthly Social Security benefits, according to the Social Security Administration. Those benefits go primarily to retirees but also to people with disabilities, as well as dependents of deceased beneficiaries.
Medicare and Veterans Affairs benefits also continue to be distributed during a shutdown.
The federal government will shut down at 12:01 a.m. ET Saturday if Congress does not pass a bill to provide more funding. The GOP has a narrow majority in the House, and a group of hard-line conservatives is holding out from the rest of Republicans and demanding deep cuts in government spending.
President Joe Biden and the Democrats, who control the Senate, oppose those cuts.
In the event of a shutdown, “nonessential” actions would stop, and 4 million federal employees would not receive paychecks.
Some, including members of the military, would work without pay and would receive back pay later on, after a new funding bill is passed and signed into law. Other federal employees would be furloughed and would not report to work.
And a shutdown would stop many other federal programs and services. The Biden administration said in September, when a shutdown looked likely, that the Special Supplemental Nutrition Program for Women, Infants, and Children, or WIC, would stop operating one or two days into a shutdown. Agriculture Secretary Tom Vilsack said that some states might be able to keep their programs running a bit longer than that.
WIC is a program intended to help low-income pregnant and postpartum women, as well as children under age 5, access healthier food. According to the Agriculture Department, more than 6 million people received WIC benefits each month in 2022, including about 39% of all U.S. infants.
A long shutdown could harm the economy, as well. The longest shutdown lasted for 35 days, from Dec. 22, 2018, to Jan. 25, 2019, and the Congressional Budget Office estimated that it cost the U.S. economy at least $11 billion directly, with indirect costs that were harder to quantify.
A government shutdown should not be confused with a debt ceiling standoff. The U.S. reached its borrowing limit, called the debt ceiling, earlier this year. That standoff could have prevented Social Security checks from going out had it lasted long enough, but after a protracted impasse, congressional Republicans and Democrats agreed on a deal to prevent it.
Rose Rambles... 
I wouldn’t say IF it’s morer like WHEN a government shut down. And everything you say I agree with so why do we need Congress? When a few military or even non military men can do the same job with far less bloat. Say 10 men instead of 490 or so. And no damn muslims or any anti-Americans. like Joe Biden.

We don’t ‘need’ gooberment, not even a bit, If the world didn’t have borders, if people didn’t ask gooberment to solve their problems, if we all, the human race respected each other’s beliefs and needs like food and water etc were materialized without having to buy things, if humanity helped their neighbors instead of ignoring them and sending money to a money hole for wars, if we only stopped trying to control others. It’s a lot of if’s but humanity needs to put their big boy/girl pants on and stop sending money to them, taxes and all and take care of each other. We’d have no problem that couldn’t be solved together…Yep, we don’t need them….they need us.

MUSE IT IS VERY OBVIOUS THAT YOU ARE NOT LEARNNING ANYTHING OUT OF ALL THE INTERNET INFORMATION POSTED EVERYWHERE.
ITS BEEN A VERY LONG TIME SINCE THE CLOWNS IT WASHINGTON DC AND BUROCRATS HAVE NO NEED OF YOU OR ANYONE ELSE EITHER.
THEIR BREAD AND BUTTER HAS BEEN PROVIDED BY THE JEWS IN HIGH POWER POSITIONS, REASON WHEY THEY HAVE BECOME MILLIONAIRS.
AND CHOSE POLITICS AS A CARREER AS A WAY OF BRAKING THEIR ECONOMIC CILING, ROOF, TOP.
BECAUSE ONCE THEY SERVE AND GET HIGH POWER CONTACTS THEY NOT ONLY MILK THE MONEY LUNDERING SYSTEM, THEN THEY CAN BECOME CONSULTANTS, OR GO WORK FOR CORPORATIONS.
OUR TAX MONEY DOES NOT PAY THEIR WAGES IT GOES TO ENGLAND AND FROM ENGLAND GOES TO ROME AND FROM ROME THEY SEND BACK CRUMS TO THE IRS TO CONTINUE DOING THEIR GREAT JOB OF STEALING MONEY FROM OUR SWEAT AND BLOOD.
YOU THINK THAT LESS THAN $200,000 DOLLARS, WOULD KEEP THESE PARASITES IN OFFICE, WHEN THEY COULD BE MAKEING LOTS MORE ONCE THEY GET OUT OF OFFICE WITHOUT FORGETTING INSIDE TRADING AT THE STOCKMARKET.
I HOPE THAT NOW THAT WERNER MERCENARIES THOGETHER WITH HEZBOLA WILL BEGIN TO KICK SOME JEWS ASS FOR A CHAGE, GAZA HAS BEEN DESTROYED AND THOUSANDS OF PALESTINIANS HAVE BEEN ASSESSINATED BY THOSE BASTARDS, EGYPT IS NOT HELPING EITHER DOE THEIR EGYPTIAN PEOPLE WANT TO HELP THE PALESTINIANS THEIR PRESIDENT SISI=ISIS MIRORED BACKWARDS HAS TO BE A DAMN JEW THAT INFILTRATED EGYPT AND BECAME PRESIDENT FOR A LONG TIME, NOW MORE THAN 12 YEARS.
ANY WAY AS LONG AS THE WERNER MERCENARIES GET IN THERE WILL BE ENOUGH TO BRING THOSE DAMN JEWS TO THEIR KNEES, JUST LIKE THEY DID IN UKRAINE.
SCREW ALL DAMN JEWS PERIOD. THEY NEED TO FACE MEN’S JUSTICE BEFORE THEY FACE GOD’S JUSTICE.

LOL, yes Crapgiver…
I don’t need them, we don’t need them. I’ve known for a long time that they don’t live on their income they are suppose to be under their service to the country or state….I know they get rich by their insider information and stock market, and of course wars.
None of our tax dollars go to programs they claim they are using it for. 80% of it goes right to the WEF. The whole financial system is based on using us as collateral/STRAWMAN and energy for them but that is changing so they are desperately trying to get money and wars is one way…but they must get us on board with it….as in consent. I’m not for any of their wars, I don’t think we need leaders or representatives that don’t do what the people want. The gooberment has gone rogue…their desperation is so apparent and they know we are on to them. It’s not the jews, again, that is what they want us to think. They are harping on antisemitism right now because it’s similar to the ‘racist’ social conditioning, much like the gender crap. It’s a divide and conquer thing…the REAL jews are not doing all of this. It’s these factions/families and cabal fake jews mafia. They have already lost power, and don’t want to so they get desperate and have no way now to keep their deeds secret so it’s pretty apparent their desperation. Humanity just needs to put on their big boy/girl pants and stop asking gooberment to fix our problems…which they created in the first place. What we see here is a power struggle between those factions that want their NWO.
They have gotten rich off our STRAWMAN. A corpratacracy, and the coroporation is broke….so all this hype will go away soon when they are not successful at creating their WWIII. What we all need to do is stop fighting amongst ourselves and unite…SAY NO. We no longer need them and we aren’t gonna change ‘the system’ by voting for new people to do the same agenda….and that goes for all the alphabet agencies as well.
