Shutdown Halts Federal Operations
After repeated failures to reach a budget deal, the federal government has officially shut down.
What Continues — and What Doesn’t
Essential workers such as air traffic controllers will continue to work but without pay during shutdown.
Medicare and Medicaid payments will continue, though officials warn of delays.
National Parks remain in limbo, but the Oklahoma City National Memorial confirmed it will stay open, noting it operates independently despite federal oversight.
Oklahoma’s Outlook
Thousands of federal workers in Oklahoma could soon face furloughs or delayed paychecks, and state leaders say they are closely monitoring the situation.
