Will Social Security and Medicare Benefits Continue with the Government Shutdown? - Motley Fool
The “government shutdown,” resulting from a disagreement between political parties on whether to continue funding the government while certain issues are unresolved, will likely continue for a while yet, according to this Motley Fool article. But will that affect your Social Security or Medicare benefits? Well, the answer is “no” because both programs are exempt from such political maneuvers because they operate on a “permanent funding basis.” So all Social Security payments and Medicare coverage will continue unaffected by this Congressional impasse. Nevertheless, certain services in both programs may suffer temporary delays due to staff availability, and the U.S. economy may suffer, as explained in this Motley Fool article by Matthew Benjamin.
