OK all of you who are on some kind of Gov ret, how worried are you anout getting paid next month ??bkbend - 10-11-2013 at 08:30 AM
I'll bite and the answer is not worried -- yet. I rely on some kind of gov ret but have enough available funds to tide me over for a few months and
replace when retro payments are made. If this crap drags out much longer than that I feel there will be a lot more to worry about for everyone, not
just those relying on the gov.bajaguy - 10-11-2013 at 08:33 AM
I can last about a year.......made some good investments and have a great financial advisorBarry A. - 10-11-2013 at 08:53 AM
I am not at all worried--------I have a 'rainy day fund' that will sustain me minimally for several years.
"1. I’m a Federal retiree. Will I still receive my monthly annuity payment during a government shutdown?
A. Yes, Federal retirees under the CSRS and FERS retirement systems will still receive their scheduled annuity payments on the first business day of
the month."
So...not worried.DENNIS - 10-11-2013 at 12:07 PM

VA disability won't be paid...you know...those kids back from the sht-hole Middle East that came back without arms and legs.
Nope. No check for them. Cheep - 10-11-2013 at 12:09 PM
What would be the effect of a Government
shutdown on the TSP?
A Federal Government shutdown would
not affect the TSP. Neither the TSP nor the
Federal Retirement Thrift Investment Board
receives annual appropriations from the
Congress. Since the TSP is not dependent
on Congressional appropriations, a Government
shutdown would not affect the TSP;
the TSP would continue to operate “business
as usual.”
Will my TSP investments be affected?
What about disbursements?
Investment activity will continue. Share
prices and account balances will continue to
be updated each business day, and loans and
withdrawals will continue to be disbursed.DENNIS - 10-11-2013 at 12:34 PM

I thought they took care of that. The immediate backlash was unbearable which makes me wonder why the same reaction hasn't been heard or seen for the
disabled.

Gracias adios I didn´t rely on that useless POS government for any thing. Happily retired since my early 40s.
