Will Federal Employees furloughed in a shutdown get paid after the shutdown? Yes

Article Title: Will Federal Employees furloughed in a shutdown get paid after the shutdown? Yes
Snippet of Article: "Yes. After the lapse in appropriations has ended, employees who were furloughed as the result of the lapse will receive retroactive pay for those furlough periods. (See 31 U.S.C. 1341(c)(2).) Retroactive pay will be provided on the earliest date possible after the lapse ends, regardless of scheduled pay dates. (See 31 U.S.C. 1341(c)(2).) If retroactive pay cannot be provided by the normal pay date for the given pay period, it will be provided as soon as possible thereafter. Retroactive pay is provided at the employee’s “standard rate of pay.” (See Question D.4. Note that retroactive pay may be zero if an employee was scheduled (before the lapse took effect) to be in a nonpay status during the period when the lapse was in effect.)"
