(Des Moines, IA) — Iowa National Guard officials say that service members will continue to receive their pay during the federal government shutdown. Today marks the 15th day of the government shutdown, and ING Public Affairs Director Jackie Schmillen has ensured it won’t affect several service members. This includes those who are deployed, serving on Title 32 orders, and the Active Guard and Reserve force. However, Schmillen says that federal civilian technicians and dual-status military technicians will not receive pay during the shutdown, regardless of whether they are furloughed or required to work. By law, they will receive back pay once an appropriation is approved, and those who need assistance can contact the Soldier and Family Readiness office.
