According to the NNS:
WASHINGTON (NNS) -- Military members would continue to earn wages in the event of an April 8 shutdown of the federal government, but they'd have to wait to collect them until Congress agrees on a budget, a senior administration official said April 6.During a telephone briefing administered by the Office of Management and Budget, a senior administration official detailed the consequences of a possible federal government shutdown that will occur April 8 if Congress doesn't agree on a budget.
Service members, the official said, "will continue to earn money" in the event of a shutdown.
But because there wouldn't be any money to pay out to service members during a shutdown, the official said, they would have to wait to be reimbursed.
"They will be paid once we have money again to pay them," the official said.
What this means is our men and women in uniform will go without paychecks for as long as the shutdown lasts. More after the fold.
