Virginia was effectively shut down at 11:59 p.m. Tuesday. Since then, the few loan I've closed, without exception, were with a government worker either still working or who will still get a check during the shutdown and have a job when this is over [Dept of Transportion employee, school teacher (2 different closings), etc.] And, of course, in this area, we have the military. I also had closings that were scheduled, then cancelled and never rescheduled. I think this is due to probems with verification of employment and those pesky affidavits that have borrowers state that their employment and financial status haven't changed since they applied for the loan!
