It depends on the team! This shutdown, only two of our teams are affected -- the DHS Digital Service and the SBA Digital Service. We work when our parent agencies work, and we shutdown with them for the most part.
When furloughed, yes, we are not paid -- however, so far, Congress has always passed legislation to pay back employees who were furloughed.
Not trying to be cheeky -- genuinely curious does the shut down affect the pay of those on this team?
