Federal workers would be in line to get their next electronic paycheck on Friday, Oct. 24, if not for the ongoing government shutdown.
During the shutdown − which entered its 21st day on Oct. 21 − many government employees are not paid due to the lapse in funding.
While many federal workers are furloughed during this time, some essential employees, like members of the military, are still required to work during the shutdown.
Active-duty military members ended up being paid on Oct. 15 after a push from President Donald Trump. Meanwhile, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said sworn law enforcement officers who work for DHS, including Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, will receive a "super check" on Oct. 22 to cover hours worked during the shutdown.
Once Congress agrees on government appropriations, ending the shutdown, all federal employees should get paid as usual.
