It should take longer than that to miss a paycheck
Bi weekly is what I recall hearing, they were paid less than 2 weeks ago so won't be perceptibly missing a check until this Friday
reply
They worked the pay period through to Tuesday, though

Right yea the paycheck is lagged vs. work, so I think @Cje95 is wrong about Republicans will try to not provide back pay... there should be at least some backpay.
reply
It's a legal requirement after the last shutdown. Before that, Congress just funded it afterwards.
reply
The backpay itself is also not paid back all at once. At least not on the House or Senate side if it reaches a certain point (most of the time the month). They pay it out over a couple months due to other legal threshold amounts and tax issues. Senate might be slightly different but they have the same general rules they just get paid biweekly.
