From Newsweek:
Several Social Security offices have been closed today amid the larger government shutdown. ...
In California, the Madera Social Security office is unable to provide in-person service until 1 p.m. local time.
Meanwhile, in Montana, the Havre office is only able to provide telephone assistance until further notice due to the shutdown.
New York is facing several disruptions, with the East Bronx location unable to provide in-person services until 10 a.m., and Canarsie and Corning locations only providing phone assistance until further notice.
The Pennsylvania office in Wilkes-Barre is only offering phone assistance on Monday, while Bloomsburg and Reading offices have generally reverted to phone service instead of any in-person options until further notice.
In South Carolina, the Spartanburg office will only be providing phone service on Monday, and the Dallas Fair Park office in Texas will be offering the same service instead of in-person capabilities.
In West Virginia, the Logan SSA office is only available by telephone.
In Wyoming, beneficiaries relying on the Cody office will need to use phone services until further notice. ...
Some of these have to do with local conditions which might occur anytime. Some of these have to do with the reduction in staffing at Social Security. Some of these have to do with the government shutdown. When people aren't being paid, they're not as enthusiastic about showing up for work when they're not feeling so well.

Members of Congress should not get paid until the government shutdown is solved. I think in that manner the shutdown would be over in no time. It’s shameful to have House Republicans to be “working” from their districts for about a month with so much to be done for their constituents.
They are not working, more like grandstanding and owning the libs. Le sigh
This shutdown might take awhile…
As the government shutdown enters its fourth week, Senate Republicans are headed to the White House on Tuesday — not for urgent talks on how to end it but for a display of UNITY with President Donald Trump as they refuse to negotiate on any Democratic demands.
Air traffic controllers are becoming Uber drivers and restaurant servers on top of six-day airport shifts to make ends meet during government shutdown.
“To think that somehow we can live with, ‘You’ll get paid eventually,’ that doesn’t pay the creditors, that doesn’t pay the mortgage, that doesn’t pay gas, that doesn’t pay the food bill,” Daniels said. “No one takes IOUs, and the air traffic controllers are having to feel that pressure as well.”
