(5,066 posts)Veteran benefits,Social security and SSI checks won't be affected. Those in active military won't there pay. However If you receive food
stamps you likely won't be able to get them during shutdown. People who get disability checks won't get them.
I am disabled american on SSI,Food stamps,and medicaid. I should be able to get my SSI for october but i probally won't have food
stamps to help me get food for the month.
But guess what republicans In congress still get their pay
Every person affected needs to blame all republicans In House and senate.
