The Department of Homeland Security has released its plans for a potential shutdown of the agency.
Late on Friday, Congress approved a one-week extension of funding for the agency, setting up another showdown next week.
In a 46-page document, the department outlines what functions would be maintained in the event of a shutdown, including counter-terrorism watches, TSA checks, and Secret Service protections. Workers who perform those jobs would be required to work but would not be paid until Congress acts.
Of about 225,000 on-board employees, about 194,000 will be required to work despite the funding lapse.
Those who are not exempt – and thus subject to furlough -- include employees who work in research and development, auditing and training jobs. Those workers will have four hours on the first day of the funding lapse to prepare for the shutdown, doing tasks like securing classified materials.
