Threat Of Govt. Shutdown At Midnight

[iceturkee]

fy 2015 budget passed the house but is now stuck in senate. looks like they won't vote on it before monday. govt. runs out of money at 11:59.

first, does anyone know about when the va sends payroll in to the banks? have heard its about the 18th or 19th of month.

second, would this affect january checks? at this late date, i would say no but someone else might know better. thanks.

UPDATE: senate just passed short term continuing resolution to fund govt. until midnight wednesday.

Hey, I don't care. I have a pile in a safe place just for such pitfalls. Get that emergency fund if you have to squeeze your budget like a tooth paste tube. If you are just living from one VA/SSD check to another you are spending too much. You just have to have at least 3 months in an emergency fund and 6 months or a year is better. We are vets. We are subject to whims of congress. Call the Sons of Liberty and break out the pitch forks.

Budget just passed it includes advanced funding for VA, so future govt shutdowns will not effect VA funding.
