You do realize most banks that you can just file that you are in federal shutdown and they will continue to issue your paychecks as normal and you just pay it back when you get retro pay.

You are correct on a couple of matters. What is happening is affecting government workers and some may have to tap into retirement funds if they have not set up a contingency plan. But it is the nature of working for a government that is dysfunctional. Difficult times fall on everyone just as it does in the private sector. There should not be emergency tax exemptions for this situation. Our legislators will always inflict pain in one way or another irregardless of who your employer is.
My wife is a civilian physician at a military hospital. We do not have any financial strains, though $0 paystubs are irritating and a little insulting. The medical staff is about 75% civilian. There is grumbling among the civilian staff, especially the lower GS’s, as they typically are more likely to live more paycheck to paycheck. If there is any concession that is fair for essentials, emergency furloughs should be granted for some to seek temporary employment elsewhere, though this is being shot down already at their facility.
And before the ‘shouldn't be dependent on the government’ crowd chimes in, my wife still goes to work every day without complaint because soldiers and their families rely on their staff for healthcare. I only mention this because some of you parrot the same shite everyday about government leeches. I do not agree with OP’s premise, but the generic view of a federal worker is a bit tiresome.

A lot of people didn't say shite to anyone. I knew how to do this and I just went out around our squadeon and showed all the young people both active duty and gs what to do. How to file the forms and how to navigate the shutdown. Literally no one I know is going without pay. As far as the view of federal workers I can see why some people are upset. There are a ton of federal jobs that shouldn't exist but what your wife does and what a lot of us here do, is not a part of that group.

For those of us who do, we are forced to choose between paying “double taxes” since our back pay will also be taxed. However, we don’t know how long the shutdown will be.
You’re a federal employee? That explains a ton.

Them being furloughed is no more painful that someone being layed off. Those furloughed could be working other jobs right now, that's what I'd be expected to do. Screw them and their poor decisions. They need to learn the concept of "Hope for the best, but plan for the worst".

The majority of people on this board hate minorities but they freaking hate federal employees even more. Probably more than illegals.

The command is great. They are much more visible and vocal with the providers. They see the shitty position they are in and want them to know how much they are appreciated.

The point is they do not have to be. I am going without pay but I just went to my bank, filed forms and they still pay me my pay every payday. Just when you go back and file for backpay and get it, then you have to give it back to the bank.

unless the same rules can apply to every other American worker that loses a job then NO. There should not be a protected class of people at any level for any reason, that is why the country is so fricked up and divided. Equal should mean Equal and successful people should not be punished for being successful.

Only thing hated here are low-IQ LWNJ's like you. Willfully ignorant, poorly educated, dishonest, unable to do basic mathematics, invent arguments nobody else makes just to derail threads. Basically just trash.
