Under a bill passed by congress and signed by the president, the military did receive their pay during the shutdown. And other federal employees are supposed to receive retroactive back-pay for the money they did not receive during the sixteen days the government was shut down.

Tier I benefits are, therefore, reduced by the amount of any actual social security benefit paid on the basis of nonrailroad employment, in order to prevent a duplication of benefits based on the same earnings. .
