Hi folks,

CNCS has finally posted their contingency plans. In brief, should the
government shutdown at midnight tonight:

- you will have no change in status (all benefits and restrictions remain in
place)
- you will continue to serve
- you will continue to receive your living allowance


You can read all the contingency plans here:

And the VISTA specific one (you are grant funded):
http://www.nationalservice.gov/pdf/11_0408_shutdown_faq_vista.pdf

So for your service it will be a bit of a non-event. But we'll see what
happens otherwise.

(BTW, I found out about this via Facebook---so much for timely
communication)

Ben
