Military Families and the Federal Government Shut Down

Since I am both a Federal Employee and a reservist currently on active duty, things have been a little crazy around here trying to get a bunch of generic admin things done in case the government shut down this week. Fortunately, there's another temporary reprieve, but in case you were curious, here's the scoop on what would be affected if the government did shut down, according to the National Military Family Association.

So the good news is that we're ok for now and probably will be. But just in case we're not in the clear yet, you might want to think about filing those taxes sooner rather than later. And oh by the way, if you are a Federal employee with funds in active 2010 flex spending accounts, you might want to submit those claims now because who knows how long it'll take them to process them later.
