Government Shut Down Looming - Who Will it NOT Affect

[JohnyMac]

Looks like there will be a government shutdown next week. Trump isn't going to budge. I have put together this list of agencies and people that will not be affected. As the MSM/Legacy press goes crazy and blames Trump for the sky falling. Please use this information to your advantage.

**Agencies & Services That Continue**

> Military & national security: Active-duty military, intelligence agencies (CIA, NSA), border security, TSA, air traffic control, and federal law enforcement (FBI, DEA, ATF) operate normally.
> Healthcare & safety: VA hospitals, FDA food-safety inspections (reduced), CDC disease monitoring, and disaster response (FEMA, emergency weather services) continue.
> Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid: Payments persist as mandatory spending programs, independent of annual funding.
> Postal Service (USPS): Operates, funded by its own revenue.
> Air travel: FAA safety inspectors, air traffic controllers, and TSA officers work, possibly without immediate pay.
> Prisons: Federal prison staff continue working.

**Payments & Benefits That Continue**

> Social Security checks
> Medicare & Medicaid coverage
> VA benefits
>  SNAP (food stamps) & WIC (delivery may strain if shutdown prolongs)
> Federal pensions & annuities
> Unemployment insurance (state-administered, separately funded)

Knowledge is power. ✌

Stay tuned

Thanks for the list. 

Being a pensioner on Social Security, I am pleased to see that my princely sum should not be interrupted. 

Back to my nap ...

Please post here the link to the first article that says/reports, "social security benefits will be halted". I want to see which legacy media outlet posts it. ✌

Thats not happening.  Everything I have seen says SocSec will not be interrupted.

Social Security checks are considered mandatory, and recipients needn?t fear interruptions to their payments. However, anyone with business at the Social Security Administration could have a harder time getting help from an agency already straining under personnel cuts imposed by the Department of Government Efficiency, some experts fear.
