I live on SS. We need the money every month.
Does anyone here have any knowledge of when the SS checks will stop being sent out if the Gov. shutdown lasts a year.

Does anyone have a guess on this if no one has any facts?

It never has in the past, but we have never had a shutdown for that long and I would expect the politicians to come to their senses long before that and come to a compromise.

Social Security, Medicare and Medicaid

Fear not, older Americans: The Social Security checks are still coming. (And the Postal Service will still deliver them.)

That’s because the Social Security Administration received funding for the 2019 fiscal year back in September, according to Mark Hinkle, an agency spokesman.

“Social Security services and offices will remain fully operational, and Social Security benefits will be paid on time,” he said in an emailed statement.
