“Will I get my mail?”
You will continue to get your mail and packages from USPS. All services under the Postal Service will continue unimpacted throughout the government shutdown.
All pending Social Security Disability determinations are stalled for the entirety of the shutdown. You may also experience difficulty reaching the Social Security Administration, as some employees may be furloughed.
“Will I continue to receive my Social Security?”
You should still receive your Social Security benefits. However, be aware that new benefit verification and card issuance services have ceased, which may result in delays in processing their claims.
The Medicare open enrollment period running from October 15, 2025, through December 7, 2025, will be unaffected, although communications from the agency may be stalled or outdated, and you should anticipate processing delays.
“Will my Medicare or Medicaid be interrupted?”
You should still receive your Medicare and/or Medicaid benefits. Medicare and Medicaid will continue for the foreseeable future, but you may experience difficulty reaching these agencies, as some employees are furloughed.

In less than 10 hours, the U.S. government will shut down, and Mike Johnson’s to do list will almost be complete.
Rather than negotiate with Democrats on a bipartisan bill, Republicans would rather take healthcare away from 5 million Americans.
