So it's real?
Friend just posted this on Facebook. I haven't checked ours for myself, but I've gotten a million texts from people saying that checks have been cut in half. This is just wonderful. :-( Never mind that my DH will be working longer days with less pay, what about the ones who are deployed? How are you supposed to do a job where your life is in danger if you can't even be sure that your family back home is taken care of?

Re: So it's real?
Your Leave and Erning Statement (LES) shows 1/2 the total of your Mid-Month pay.
The reason for this is; DFAS can not project past April 8th which covers April 1-8. Once the budget is signed, April 9-15 will be posted.

Statement on Possible
Government Shutdown
The Administration hopes that a government shutdown can be averted, so that servicemembers and DoD employees can be paid in full and on time. If the funding bill is enacted at the last minute, it is possible that payroll payments could be split into two electronic deposits or checks, but the total amount normally paid will not be affected.
If a funding bill is not passed, resulting in a government shutdown, the Department of Defense will have no legal authority to pay military members or civilian employees for the days during which the government is shut down. The current Continuing Resolution Act (CRA) expires at midnight on April 8. Active and Reserve military members will be paid on time for pay earned prior to the expiration of the CRA -- approximately half of their normal mid-month payment. Civilians will be paid for each day worked through Friday, April 8. Because the normal pay period ends Saturday, April 9, this will usually equate to a full paycheck. The shutdown will not affect payments to retirees or annuitants because they are not paid from CRA appropriations.
Once another CRA or an appropriations act is signed into law, normal disbursement of pay will resume for pay earned after employees return to work. Excepted employees who perform duty during the shutdown will be entitled to retroactive payments, as will servicemembers. For furloughed employees, Congress will have to provide authority for retroactive payments to be made.

Either someone dropped the ball or you misunderstood.
They will not be kicking anyone out of housing because of the shut down. You'll probably be required to cut them a check for the money once you get it if it doesn't go directly to them, but you're not going to get kicked out.
"So if you decide to date the guy from Applebees instead will your new SN be "mypearlshisapron?" Your new sig can be "putting the ho in nachos.""- DNBeach12
Really? Where are you stationed? They tried to kick you out today? The government hasn't even officially shut down yet.
This doesn't make any sense. The government hasn't even shut down yet. It is military housing even if they kicked you out they couldn't move other people in. Even in civilian world it would take several months of non-payment before you can evict someone. You can't just come in and say get out. I think you need to stop listening to whoever is spreading the rumors.
