Information, not official instruction

Government Shutdown Tracker is an independent informational website and is not a government agency. Content does not replace instructions from your employer, agency, benefits administrator, court, medical provider, or travel provider. It is not legal, financial, employment, immigration, or tax advice. The disclaimer is part of these terms.

Accuracy and availability

We work to keep information accurate and sourced, but government funding and operations can change quickly. We do not guarantee that every page is complete, current, or suitable for a specific decision. Check the linked official source before acting.

Acceptable use

You may use the site for lawful personal and informational purposes. Do not interfere with its operation, attempt unauthorized access, distribute malicious code, scrape the site in a way that impairs service, or misrepresent our content as an official government notice.

External links

Links to government agencies and other websites are provided for context. We do not control their availability, content, privacy practices, or later changes.

Intellectual property

Original site design, organization, and editorial text are protected by applicable law. U.S. government works linked or discussed may have different public-domain status. Brief quotations and links do not transfer ownership of third-party material.

Limitation

To the extent permitted by law, the site and its operators are not liable for losses arising from reliance on site content, service interruptions, or third-party websites.
