The VA has posted a Field Guide to Government Shutdown on its website. Thats what officials referenced when the Times Free Press called and emailed for comment on the effects of the federal shutdown. VA has funds available to ensure claims processing and payments in the compensation, pension, education and vocational rehabilitation programs will continue through late October, the website states. However, in the event of a prolonged shutdown, claims processing and payments in these programs will be suspended when funds are exhausted. Jim Schul, a 68-year-old retired Army veteran who collects a pension that makes up half his income, said hes been following the shutdown closely. If it ran much longer it could become an issue for every veteran, Schul said. Youre going to start hearing from every age and every branch. from timesfreepress
