Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb said the state is prepared for a shutdown, but ultimately hopes Congress will make a deal.
“It is avoidable. They got less than 48 hours. Usually, they get things done when they absolutely have to, and I hope they realize this is that time,” Holcomb said.“We haven’t lost any deals over this yet, but we have had to reschedule some meetings in anticipation that folks wouldn’t be able to travel,” Holcomb said. “It’s unfortunate. It has an effect, obviously first and foremost on the employees.
Holcomb said there are some safeguards in place and said this is not the way the state likes to operate.Will I continue to receive Social Security checks? But, similar to Social Security, there could be delays and disruptions to customer service due to furloughs. According to contingency details published by the Health and Human Services Department last week, about half of the Centers for Medicare and Medicaid Services are set to be furloughed in the event of a lapse of appropriations.
If spending measures aren’t passed by Saturday’s deadline, the government shutdown would start the same day that student loans emerge from the pandemic pause after beginning to accrue interest again on Sept. 1.
