The White House is contemplating not paying federal workers who are furloughed during the ongoing government shutdown, raising legal concerns about a law mandating back pay post-shutdown. The Office of Management and Budget argues that furloughed employees can only receive pay if the legislation to end the shutdown allocates funds for it. This stance has been criticized by Democrats, asserting that federal workers are entitled to compensation regardless of the shutdown's circumstances.
