DC Government Shutdown Plan

|
 
 

SHUTDOWN OVERVIEW

’ It looks increasingly possible that Congress will not

approve a final Fiscal Year 

budget or a
Continuing Resolution by the end of the week

’ If no Congressional action is taken by the end of the

day on Friday, April 8, the federal government will
enter a so-called ͞shutdown͟

’ If the federal government shuts down, much of the

District͛s operations will be impacted


|
 
 

PLANNING PROCESS

’ The District has been working for over a month with District
agencies and the Office of Management Budget on a District
shutdown plan that meets federal legal standards

’ During a government shutdown, District agencies may

employ personnel for activities related to the public safety,
public health, or protection of property

’ In addition, key financial functions may continue

’ Most capital projects are also exempt from the shutdown

^
|
 
 

SERVICES THAT WILL CONTINUE

About 
, of approximately ^ , DC employees will be exempt.

’ Metropolitan Police Department: All sworn officers will continue to be on

duty. 9

will also be fully operational.

’ Fire and Emergency Medical Services Department: All firefighters and EMTs
will be on duty.

’ DC Public Schools and Public Charter Schools: DCPS and Public Charter
Schools will remain open.

’ Health and Human Services Functions: A limited number of health and

human services functions will operate, including income maintenance
functions (TANF, food stamps, and Medicaid), both District-run hospitals
(United Medical Center and St. Elizabeth's), limited unemployment benefits
functions, various functions of the Child and Family Services Agency, and a
limited set of functions within the Department of Health.

º
|
 
 

SERVICES THAT WILL CLOSE

’ Department of Motor Vehicles: All locations will be closed.

’ Department of Consumer and Regulatory Affairs: The permitting and

licensing functions will not operate during a shutdown.

’ Department of Public Works: Trash collection will not start until one
week after shutdown. Street sweeping will be suspended.

’ Department of Transportation: DDOT will be operating with a skeletal

crew, so routine maintenance and repairs will cease. Emergency
repairs will be made.

’ DC Public Libraries: All libraries will be closed.

|
 
 

BUDGET AUTONOMY

’ There is no reason why the District government should be impacted

by a failure by Congress to set the federal budget.

’ The federal budget impasse will create significant, negative, and

unnecessary impacts on the residents of the District, people who
work in the District, and people who visit the District

’ The District should be granted budget autonomy now and for all
future fiscal years.

M
|
 
 

ADDITIONAL INFORMATION

’ Employees will be informed by agency directors of

whether they should report during a shutdown

’ Employees and residents can keep track of the status of

the shutdown by accessing the dc.gov website, DC Cable
Ch.
M or by calling ^

starting on Friday
