Here's who misses checks if the U.S. hits the debt brink in June - NewsBreak

Actually, Social Security and Medicare won't (or shouldn't) be affected due to the law changes about 30 years ago. It allows for the trust funds that they are paid out of to still be drawn down if the government "runs out of money".

However, those are the only two funds that the law applies to. VA checks, Federal salaries, SNAP, etc. are all at risk.

Delightful!.....so those who won't get paid if we default will get paid if they make an agreement, but that agreement slashes funding to pay those same people.
