2023’s autumn might bring at least two possibilities for disruptions and delays in some activities of some Federal agencies, including the US Labor and Treasury departments. Not increasing the debt Congress authorizes the United States to incur might indirectly disrupt or delay the Labor and Treasury departments’ rulemaking and other guidance activities. Not continuing appropriations after September 30 and a resulting government shutdown would make it unlawful for the Labor and Treasury departments’ employees to work on rulemaking and other guidance activities. (If history is some guide about what could happen next: After November 1995, US government shutdowns have averaged about 19 days. The most recent was 35 days.) If 2023’s autumn brings a slowdown or shutdown, would a delay in rulemaking and other guidance activities matter for retirement plans and service providers?
