Here’s when Members of Military, Federal Workers Will Miss First Paycheck During Shutdown

The Connecticut Humane Society offers free pet food to federal workers facing pay uncertainty during the shutdown through a pantry program available at three locations.

  • Connecticut Humane Society is offering free pet food, urging unpaid federal workers to use its year-round pantry targeting those affected by the shutdown, James Bias said.
  • The government shutdown has produced pay uncertainty and agency layoffs, said the Office of Management and Budget, while Rep. Mike Johnson warned military families could miss paychecks next Wednesday.
  • Applicants should complete a short online form, and the society accepts unopened food donations at its three locations or online orders and donations at CThumane.org/FedPFP for up to a month's supply.
  • The program, repeated from 2019, delivered tangible relief as James Bias, executive director of the Connecticut Humane Society, heard praise including thanks from a TSA agent at Bradley.
  • The society urged the public to donate and help 'stack the shelves' as organizers warned this month could bring cash-flow crises for federal workers facing mid-month issues, with 400,000 additional workers scheduled for pay on next Wednesday.
