This is correct....we know folks in both situations. My husband must work, but his pay is suspended until the government starts operations. I read that the shutdown is affecting 25% of all government employees, either way.
I read the 'Verify' article and the relief pay is only available to those who have an official notice of a suspension or lay off of actual work. So not for our case or any officers who are still at work. It is very unrighteous indeed, however, I don't know which situation is worse.
We are really in a pickle, my family. Please pray over us, saints.
***my husband relocated his job to another state, to bless me and the kids, and get us further away from the LC here
***me and the kids stayed here in order to bless my husband, who wanted to subdivide our property before we sell it
***we currently pay for two 'homes', one in each state, against my better judgment, but out of my wish to be obedient to my head.
***we cannot list our home for sale because the city manager seems to be sitting on his hands instead of getting anything done towards the subdivision
***now without a paycheck, indefinitely
If you have the peace of Christ, please lift us up to Him in prayer!
Thank you all for your care,
