Which federal employees still work during shutdowns? Do they get paid? Federal employees who don't receive a paycheck during the government shutdown get paid retroactively, but that can take a while.

23,449 Kentuckians are federal employees. So are 130,686 Texans & 95,000 Floridians. You aren't getting paid. You can't buy prescriptions, food, pay rent or mortgage. Are you Reps taking paychecks while you face hunger & foreclosure?
