The federal government is poised to grind to a halt on Oct. 1. Here’s how a shutdown will affect D.C., Maryland and Virginia.
More than 138,900 civilian federal workers and roughly 50,000 active-duty and reserve service members living in the state could go without paychecks during a shutdown, said Rep. Jamie Raskin . State officials said federal paychecks support 240,000 Maryland households, according to state income tax data, because many residents live in Maryland but commute to jobs in D.C. or Northern Virginia. That many Marylanders losing income — even for a short time — would disrupt the economy.
The state will commit up to $1 billion of its $5 billion in liquid cash to cover any dried-up federal funding stream, senior officials in the administration of Gov. Wes Moore told reporters Thursday morning. That cash would cover an array of federal benefits, including support for the roughly 670,000 people who receive food aid through SNAP and the 56,000 who rely on the TANF cash-assistance program, officials said.
