Federal workers not entitled to back pay after shutdown, budget office claims

5. I wonder how the National Guardsmen are going to feel about terrorizing people and NOT getting paid (see below)

From the National Guard website:

Since Congress failed to pass normal appropriations or a stopgap budget before the start of the fiscal year on Tuesday, the federal government is officially shut down.

But not every function of the federal government is affected. Impacts to the National Guard largely depends on the status of the personnel involved in a particular function.

Guardsmen on federal orders, Title 10 or Title 32, will continue in a normal duty status but without pay.

The same with Active Guard and Reserve personnel, according to Department of War Contingency Plan Guidance released Sunday.
