Does this stop everyone’s case until the government re-opens in the chance it shuts down?
What happens if the government shuts down?

If you can’t tell my med board is partially for anxiety haha
Are you just asking for reference? When has the government shut down before
With all the current talk about how it could shut down next week, it’s got me curious
not sure, I haven’t even heard anything though? Also I feel like the government that would shut down wouldn’t be this side of it. The PEB/VA I feel shouldn’t shut down, I think they are their own entity.
I see, I wasn’t too sure and figured I’d ask if anyone else had any idea
Thanks!
Thanks!
Most DoD Civilians will get furloughed (laid off) while the government is shut down, that means that your PEBLO, as well as most other civilians involved in your case won't be at work, so you might have some communication lag, and it might slow your case down by a couple of days, but overall I think you should still be on your current timeline unless the shutdown drags on for a really long time, hope this helps to ease your anxiety about this.
I see, I wasn't too sure how much was done by AD and how much was done by DOD Civilian employees. That's what my mind jumped to tbh
If everything does come back but my PEBLO out due to the shutdown, would there be any other way of being notified? I wouldn't imagine but doesn't hurt to ask.
I've seen some people get letters in the mail, but I've only gotten a letter from the VA saying they closed my case roughly a month and a half ago.

Short version, yes. PEB and PEBLOs are largely civilians.
Oh, I don't know....4 years ago? New to the military?
Incorrect. PEB and VA comes to a screeching halt except for the most critical care functions. "Government shutdown" means all government, not just DOD.
And PEB belongs to DOD, each individual service branch. They aren't "their own entity."
Been through several shutdowns in the past, in general. That's basically what I've seen, just a pickup of work wherever it was left. Of course, it usually takes a couple of days to get synced back up.
I figured as much. Its understandable for the IDES team to need those days. I can only imagine the amount of cases they process through every day. Starting after some time off would be a lot to pick back up on
Thanks again!
Thanks again!
What if I’m waiting for a new EAS date
All depends on what your Branch does for a process. I feel like most of those offices would be active duty doing the work, but maybe that's not the case for each branch. Any office that has civilians is going to experience a work stoppage to some degree.
