A government shutdown would significantly affect over two million federal employees, with some required to work without pay, while others would be furloughed.
Federal agencies have crafted individual plans for the shutdown, determining which employees are necessary for continued government operations during the funding lapse.
Major departments, like the Environmental Protection Agency and NASA, would furlough over 90% of their staff, while others like the Department of Veterans Affairs would furlough significantly fewer.
While both furloughed and working employees during a shutdown will receive back pay once a new spending deal is signed, the immediate impact is severe.
