Congress must reach a budget deal before the April 8 deadline of the current stopgap funding measure. If lawmakers can’t reach a compromise, funding will stop and the government will be forced to shut down.

The Office of Management and Budget says each agency has a contingency plan in case of a government shutdown, but agencies are being told to keep mum about those plans.

Have you been told about any contingency plans at your agency? Or, maybe you haven’t heard a thing about a shutdown and work is the same as usual?
