Government Shutdown Impacts Social Security Services
The U.S. federal government has been in a partial shutdown since October 1, 2025, causing significant disruptions to various services, including Social Security.
Millions of retirees, people with disabilities, and government employees are concerned about the impact of the shutdown on their Social Security checks. However,
