- On Monday, a 71-page contingency plan detailed that only 10,344 of 26,995 domestically employed staffers would be exempted from federal government shutdown furloughs.
- Department of Homeland Security said about 14,000 of its roughly 271,000 employees would be furloughed, and the Environmental Protection Agency says more than 10% of EPA staff would remain to handle essential activities.

- An extended shutdown risks exhausting FEMA’s Disaster Relief Fund, which has about $10 billion, while the Department of Health and Human Services says Medicaid can be funded for the first quarter.
