is signed into law, many offices and programs of the federal government
are now shut

or slowed due to the lapse in government funding. The Office of Management and Budget (OMB) requires each agency to have contingency plans in place.
The information attached/below is based on NAR
staff review of agency agency contingency plans for the current shutdown
and past experience with previous shutdowns and near-shutdowns.
