The US Government has shutdown for the first time since 2019. Here is how Hoosiers could feel the impacts

FISHERS — The federal government has entered its first shutdown since 2019 as Democrats and Republicans trade blame over who is responsible for the lapse in funding. “The simple truth is Democrats in Congress have dragged our country into another reckless shutdown,” Republican House Speaker Mike Johnson said. Unlike city and state governments, which continue to function as normal, a federal shutdown halts many services and places thousands of employees on furlough. Social Security and Medicare checks will continue, and mail delivery will not be affected. How quickly Hoosiers feel the impact depends on how long the shutdown lasts, but Wilson said there is no timeline for when the standoff will end.
