US deadlines for the government: What is ahead and why they matter
The continued closing of the US government entered its second week without any resolution in sight, and a series of impending deadlines can strengthen the pressure on the congress to act. According to Axios, the most important dates will determine in the coming weeks when federal workers, military service members and public programs begin to experience the most painful effects of financing financing. Federal workers’ salaries (October 10) Friday is the last salary for many federal employees who completed the work in September. No extra payment is issued for October work until the closure ends. The news store notes that agencies such as the National Nuclear Safety Administration of the Department of Energy may begin to cut staff as the financing dries up. Senate Reses (October 13) and Home Return (October 14) Congress schedules can be stuffed. The Senate’s planned recess week, which begins on October 13, is likely to be scrapped, while the house again on October 14 after a short break again. Speaker Mike Johnson kept members out of Washington to align with the Republican strategy to push Democrats. Military salaries (October 15) for the first time since the beginning of the closure, military members of the active service will miss a salary. Johnson excluded an independent measure to ensure military payment, according to the report, which raises concerns about the morale of the troops. Federal courts (October 17) cannot close courts if appropriations are not restored. In terms of the Anti-Defience Act, the judiciary can only operate on fee-balances and limited non-designated funds. Anti-Trump protests (October 18) nationwide “no kings” protests against President Trump’s handling of the closure are scheduled to resume. Republican leaders believe that Democrats can be negotiations to prevent overlap with the protests. Record -breaking closure (October 20) If no agreement is reached by October 20, Trump will surpass Jimmy Carter if the president chairman of the most closing days. The Senate staff will miss full salaries, although senators are still paid. Missed Federal Salaries (October 24, October 31) by October 24, many federal employees will miss a whole month’s payment. By October 31, the staff of the house will also go without pay, although home members will not be affected. ACA Open entry (November 1) Affordable Care Act Open entry begins, which coincides with funding negotiations. Democrats want to include an ACA subsidy extension to help 22 million entries while Republicans remain divided. Trump indicated openness for a healthcare agreement linked to the reopening of the government. The longest closure in American history (November 4) as the closure extends to November 4, it will be the longest ever, surpassing the 35-day standpoint in 2018–2019 under Trump. Social programs at Risk Wic (women, babies and children): may have the financing, although the White House has found temporary sources to make them work. Snap (food aid): October benefits are covered, but November financing remains uncertain. During the 2019 closure, families faced a 40 -day gap between benefits. Social Security/SSI: Payments will continue uninterrupted as 45,000 SSA employees remain on duty. Refund’s uncertainty while federal employees are usually repaid once a closing ends, Axios reports that a concept memo from the White House suggested that workers may not be reimbursed for their forced time.
