We really have to stop ignoring the issues about a possible government shut down because this can effect us in many ways. Some of us could lose our jobs, benefits, and livelyhood. Who would have imagined our country would be in this position? Well, when you have stubborn politicians who refuse to give in or give out, this is what happens; but that’s just my opinion.

Just in case our government does decide to shut down, how can you be prepared?

Follow these tips:

  • Plan for delayed Social Security and Medicare benefits.  If you are a new retiree or have recently submitted address change forms, plan ahead in case there is a delay related to processing your claims.
  • Push back your international travel plans if you do not have a passport. A government shutdown will affect passport applications by slowing down the approval processes.
  • Apply for a part-time job if you are a federal worker. In these kinds of scenarios, it is best to plan for the worst, and many households cannot weather a 21-day gap in income without serious consequences.
