Concerns are rising over a potential U.S. government shutdown, with several federal agencies and services facing closure if no agreement is reached. If no deal is made, the federal government could shut down at the start of 2024.
During a shutdown, essential services like national security, military operations, emergency services, and public safety institutions will remain operational. However, educational institutions, parks, and non-essential government services may be closed.
In previous shutdowns, several federal agencies were severely impacted, including social welfare, tax filing, mail services, and other government-related functions.
