This Week Congressman Landsman Discusses The Shut Down

Beth Callahan Editor

WARREN COUNTY, OH -- Now in its 5th day, the federal government's shut down has many people wondering how the shut down affects things. Warren County's Congressman Greg Landsman's government website has a page that answers many of the questions people are asking.

The web page opens with...

"We know a government shutdown brings uncertainty for federal workers, members of the military, and many American families. Constituents are asking which agencies and programs will remain open, which will be limited, and which may be paused. We’ve provided information available right now, and will continue to update you as new details are available."

On the website, which you can go to by clicking here, Landsman answers these questions:

How did we get here?
Will I continue to receive my Social Security and SSI checks?
Will Medicare and Medicaid benefits be affected?
What happened to veterans’ services?
Will military and federal retiree benefits be suspended?
Which federal employees keep working during a government shutdown?
What is the impact on U.S. military personnel and federal law enforcement?
Will I still get my mail?
Will air travel be affected?
What is the impact on small businesses?
What is the impact on federal housing loans?
What is the impact on food safety activities?
Will my tour in DC still take place?
How can you get help?

Landsman, who is in Washington, D.C., working to secure a bipartisan deal that would open the government back up, shared that even though by law Congress continue to receive their pay during a government shutdown, he has suspended his pay during the shutdown....

"To end this, Democrats and Republicans must work together — it’s the only way budgets get done, and the only way forward," explains Landsman in his weekly newsletter to his constituents.
