Border security and coastal operations could continue on normal schedule, just without the individuals conducting the work being paid for their labor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The shutdown, which is slated to begin at midnight, stems from fight over President Donald Trump\u2019s proposed border wall which has stalled a series of unfinished agency budget bills. Funding for the Departments of Justice, Commerce, Housing and Urban Development, State and Homeland Security will expire at the end of the day if an agreement isn\u2019t reached.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Missing from that list are the Departments of Defense and Veterans Affairs, because lawmakers finished work on those appropriations measures earlier this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">That means that the partial government shutdown won\u2019t impact troops\u2019 pay, military family support programs and delivery of veterans benefits.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">It\u2019s good news for all service members except those in the Coast Guard, whose funding is handled through the Department of Homeland Security instead of the Department of Defense.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Federal employees who are required to work through a shutdown are typically given back pay by lawmakers after the disputes are settled. But in the case of a lengthy shutdown \u2014 many lawmakers are worried this impasse could last until the start of the next Congress, on Jan. 3 \u2014 that could mean missing multiple paychecks while still reporting for duty.<\/p>\n\n\n\t<aside class=\"smg-interstitial-link wp-block-smg-interstitial-link\">\n\t\t<a
