Planning for Potential Lapse in Funding
As
many of you are aware, annual funding for the government expires on January
19. The Executive Branch does not believe it is necessary for a lapse in
funding to occur, and looks forward to working with the Congress to finalize
appropriations for this year.
However,
prudent management requires that we be prepared for all contingencies,
including the possibility that a lapse could occur. A lapse would mean
that a number of government activities would cease due to a lack of
appropriated funding, and that a number of employees would be temporarily
furloughed. To prepare for this possibility, we are working to update our
contingency plans for executing an orderly shutdown of activities that would be
affected by a lapse in appropriations.
Thank
you for your hard work, dedication, and patience through this process, and for
all that you do for the Social Security Administration and the American people.
Nancy
