Government Shutdown Enters Second Month
As the government shutdown heads into November, approximately 650,000 employees are receiving renewed furlough notices.
The shutdown, now in its 31st day, is poised to enter its second month, prompting agencies to send new furlough notices to hundreds of thousands of workers.
- Notices are required to be sent every 30 days to maintain clarity between shutdown furloughs and more permanent cost-saving measures.
- The current funding lapse could surpass the record-setting 35-day impasse from 2018-2019 next week.
No back pay guarantees are included in the new notices.
