US EditionPentagon says all military personnel will be without pay during government shutdown
Military personnel will go unpaid during the shutdown, causing financial stress for families while some banks offer pay advances, officials said.
- The federal government shutdown is creating uncertainty for thousands of military families, while active-duty service members continue missions despite delayed paychecks.
- Officials at Offutt Air Force Base say about 2,300 civilian employees are furloughed while roughly 1,200 contractors remain on the job, recalling a prior 35-day furlough, and furloughed federal employees will receive back pay once funding is restored.
- Resources are available for those impacted, with the Air Force Aid Society and Red Cross helping with essentials, while USAA, Navy Federal Credit Union, and Marine Federal Credit Union offer to advance military pay.
- Families are struggling with difficult financial choices while many airmen, enlisted and officers cover critical civilian roles left vacant, increasing workloads during the shutdown.
- Kris Pierce said there is 'a lot of uncertainty' and emphasized that Offutt community and base support organizations step in to aid civilians and airmen.
