  • GOP Representatives are scrambling to pass a funding agreement to avoid a government shutdown. These agencies would be impacted.

The article from USA Today discusses the potential impacts of a government shutdown on various federal departments and agencies. If Congress fails to pass a funding bill by the deadline, numerous government functions could be disrupted. Essential services like national security, air traffic control, and law enforcement would continue, but many other services would be curtailed or halted. This includes the closure of national parks, delays in federal loans and grants, and the furloughing of hundreds of thousands of federal employees. Agencies like the Department of Housing and Urban Development, the Environmental Protection Agency, and the Department of Education would see significant operational reductions. Additionally, programs like SNAP (food stamps) might face interruptions, and non-essential federal research and regulatory activities would be paused. The shutdown would also affect public health initiatives, with potential delays in FDA inspections and CDC programs.
