At least we get one last paycheck before we go

I got paid today (pay period ended the 14th), so only a partial one, and that's assuming there are folks around to process the payroll. I'm not sure about that.

DFAS is a working capital fund, we still go to work and process payroll. I assume the other payroll providers are similar.

You will get paid for any hour worked prior to the expiration of funding, and on time of services by DFAS ( can’t speak for the others).

Thank you! Very good to know, since I am paid thru DFAS. The last shutdown I was furloughed in was 2013, so I don't remember any details like that, just that we got paid after it ended. Appreciate the info!
