Due to a lapse in funding, the government shutdown
went into effect on October 1st, 2013. The USA government website
lists the government services and operations that will be affected by the
shutdown. These include call centers that handle veteran’s benefits, all
national parks and monuments, new applications for small business loans, and
hundreds of thousands of federal employees being furloughed without pay. Also,
gun permits, passports, and patents will be delayed.
Some of the services that will not be
affected by the shutdown are active military, air traffic controllers, prison
guards, border patrol agents, and the U.S. Postal services. Social Security
beneficiaries will continue to receive their benefits, and Medicare and
Medicaid will continue, depending on the length of the shutdown. For a full
list of governmental agencies that will be affected, the USA government website
is linked below.
We have also linked other websites that
have further information about the government shutdown and what it affects
