Social Security benefits, on the other hand, would continue to be paid out. “The Social Security Administration is considered an essential service, so there won’t be a delay in checks for Social Security,” says Martha Shedden, president and co-founder of the National Association of Registered Social Security Analysts, a nationwide, for-profit educational organization for Social Security advisors.”
