Federal Employees Update
October 23, 2025
Without a budget deal, Federal employees are feeling the strain from loss of paychecks. Remember that this also means a loss of TSP contributions and matching contributions from your agency. Although past furloughs have resulted in back pay being restored, this is not guaranteed for this shutdown.
While retirement applications are being accepted, there is likely a delay in processing.
If you have any specific retirement-related questions, please reach out to me.
