| I remember seeing guidance from OPM that furloughed employees could check their work email once a day (nominally to see if they had received a RIF notice) but now I can't find that guidance. Does anyone have a link? |

I think they are voting now. Senate is out this weekend so earliest vote is next week. |

So the earliest back to work would be Tuesday? |

| Unfortunately the Senate just voted against reopening the government. |

| They’re just voting on the same bill until the house is back in session, right? So, with 5 needing to flip, this is just theater? |

Why unfortunately? Have the Republicans agreed to reign in Vought? There's no point in passing a budget or CR if he can overrule it at will. |

https://www.opm.gov/policy-data-oversight/pay-leave/furlough-guidance/#url=Shutdown-Furlough I have not looked for it, so you will need to poke around. My agency provided a guide with details. It says ‘May’ check so it’s not a requirement. |

| My office is still open. Using carryover funds until money runs out which is about 6 weeks we are told. |

Because most feds are not political. They just want to go back to work. |

| They have to do something by mid October or the military misses a paycheck and thats not a good look for anyone. I suppose a standalone military pay bill is possible because I dont think anyone would vote against it. |

Last shutdown was during Trump's first term and it went 34 days, the longest ever shutdown. |
