Shutdown and retirement pay

0

Q. My Voluntary Separation Incentive Pay was approved with an effective date of Sept. 7. My retirement packet was received at Fort Riley on Sept. 17. I have not received any money for VSIP, annual leave or retirement due to the furlough. Will any of this money be paid during the shutdown, or will I have to wait until the new appropriation is approved?

A. In all likelihood, you won’t receive any of that money until the shutdown is over and the debt ceiling crisis averted.
