So long as you have some savings, a government shutdown is more a vacation than anything. Back pay has always been given to employees.

    I would not be surprised if this was repealed (if only as an effort to further purge government employees):

    Prior to this, my understanding is that back pay was given in good faith, not by actual requirements.
