WILL the soldiers get paid of there is a .gov shutdown?

[themcfarland]

I am wondering, I cant find anywhere if they will continue to get paid or not? Its a damn shame if they wont..

 

[Taparia]

i'm pretty sure i read somewhere this morning that they do

 

[kcinnick]

It's not like the government is not going to have any money, they will still get billions of daily tax receipts.

 

[samiam]

I hope I get paid !!!

IIRC only "non-essential" offices are shut down. Don't be scurred. It's happened before in 1981, 1984, 1990 and 1995 according to Wikipedia. You probably wouldn't even notice.

We are being told to be prepared to miss the end of April paycheck.

Everyone will get paid, even the "non-essential" folks. At worst, the domestic government drones will get furloughed, then when the government reopens to screw with us, they'll get all their pay. That's the way it works.

According to my LES, my mid-month pay will be half of the normal amount. Any idea if we get the rest as back pay?

 

[tmlowe]

Being deployed with no pay sucks...

It sure hit a lot of our guys hard today. Be sure to write your politicians and tell them what you think.

on the 15th those that recieve a check from the government won't be getting one.. i guess now they'll have to get a job...

 

[dantheman]

So , as I read this thread , Military WILL get paid , and WILL NOT get paid . Which is it ?

 

[91Foxtrot]

As far as I can tell, unless they come to an agreement by midnight, we won't be getting paid for 9 April and later. We WILL be getting paid for 1-8 April, so the check on the 15th will be a half-check. Some banks, like Navy Federal, have come out to say that they will issue full checks regardless, using the back pay from the government to cover their losses. I just spoke to someone from USAA and he told me that they are working on something now. They should have more info out by Monday.

Lee D and a few others have posted on Facebook that their pay is already cut 50%.

Off without pay ? Huh ? Never mind .

 

[Hitman]

The VA has informed me via letter that regardless of Shutdown DV's will recieve their pay.

Must be different budget.

I talked to a FEMA employee today. Their pay is guaranteed. They will be working next week no matter what happens. I feel better already...

Basically the same thing they do during crisis time.

Very little.
