The risk, beyond that to any Federal agency or even government operations on the whole, is that a refusal by Congress to raise the debt limit will send a signal to bondholders that US debt is no long as safe and secure as it has been. Interest rates will rise significantly and our nasceant recovery will collapse. There will be a compromise on this issue. Some cuts will be made, but the debt ceiling will be raised in the end.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-6866566999458333172011-01-31T21:36:48.075-05:002011-01-31T21:36:48.075-05:00If all OT and awards were cut SSA could probably h...If all OT and awards were cut SSA could probably have no trouble running on a CR for as long as needed.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-40250291914210046272011-01-31T19:10:46.147-05:002011-01-31T19:10:46.147-05:00Field offices have OT.Field offices have OT.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-13078529487063124122011-01-31T18:19:54.177-05:002011-01-31T18:19:54.177-05:00There is still limited OT available sporadically i...There is still limited OT available sporadically in some ODAR offices.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-84704575145444488092011-01-31T12:27:42.720-05:002011-01-31T12:27:42.720-05:00TSC's are still working OT on days that are le...TSC's are still working OT on days that are level 1 thru 3.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19246708.post-30046087315831016282011-01-31T11:43:54.872-05:002011-01-31T11:43:54.872-05:00The Appeals Council is still working overtime hour...The Appeals Council is still working overtime hours.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
