The US House of Representatives has signed a bill to fund the government for 45 days. However, should a shutdown be in question after that time, lessors need to know that their lease payments will not be affected.
“Postal Service operations will not be interrupted in the event of a government shutdown, and all Post Offices will remain open for business as usual,” per a USPS spokesperson.
Because the USPS is funded by sale of its own products, its funds do not come from Congress. It is, therefore, not receiving any funds named in any appropriations bill Congress may enact.
