Well, they did it. The US government is officially on a partial shutdown, with Congress having failed to reach an agreement by midnight on Monday.
The shutdown will have far-reaching effects throughout the US. Though some services – mail delivery, Social Security and Medicare benefits – are not affected, others, like national parks and routine safety inspections of food, are curtailed as the majority of federal employees tasked with their operation have been ordered not to report to work on Tuesday.
A look at how a shutdown will affect other services across the federal government:
About half of the Defense Department's civilian employees are furloughed.
School lunches for low-income students are not affected. Food stamps are not affected.

The National Institutes of Health will continue to treat patients at its hospital center, but no new clinical trials will begin.

A look at how a shutdown will affect other services across the federal government:
Federal workers
About 800,000 federal employees are not furloughed and will not be paid. Already hit hard by several unpaid furlough days caused by sequestration this year some workers have begun lobbying to receive back pay in the event of a shutdown. While Congress agreed to retroactively pay them during previous shutdowns, the fractured nature of this Congress makes such a step unlikely.US military
The military's 1.4 million active-duty personnel will stay on duty, but their paychecks initially faced a threat of delay. Amid the division, the House passed – and Obama signed – a bill to ensure their checks would still be delivered on time. "You and your families deserve better than the dysfunction we're seeing in Congress," Obama said.About half of the Defense Department's civilian employees are furloughed.
Food programs
The Wic program, which provides low-income pregnant women, new mothers and children up to the age of five with healthy food, is not funded as of Tuesday morning. "No additional federal funds would be available," says the Department of Agriculture, though it suggests that some states – some, not all – may have a state-run fund that can fill in the gaps for women who need help purchasing things like formula. They estimate the state funds would last about a week.School lunches for low-income students are not affected. Food stamps are not affected.
Public health
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are facing a reduced ability to detect and investigate disease outbreaks. The annual influenza program – the one that tracks the flu and helps people get flu shots – has been shut down. The CDC has also stopped offering its usual assistance to state and local authorities, who rely on the agency for help inThe National Institutes of Health will continue to treat patients at its hospital center, but no new clinical trials will begin.
