Now That We Have a Government Shutdown, Here’s What Actually Shuts Down
 

It’s official: as of midnight Saturday, the US government has shut down following a failure in the Senate to strike a funding deal. Government funding was due to run out after Dec. 8 but was twice extended, most recently through Jan. 19, at which point the US encountered what’s officially called a “spending gap,” which triggers an official halt to Washington’s work.

For most of us, and I’m in rank and file civil service, we won’t know if we’re furloughed until tomorrow morning, when we report for work. Supervisors are presumably getting guidance this weekend, but the guidance that normally comes out earlier did not this time.

So we shall see.
