I found out some relevant info on another thread.. i.e. Social Security checks don't stop if the government shuts down..

And, I did some more research and found this..

Shutdown: Benefits

"Would Social Security checks still go out? If the checks are stopped, would all monies due be paid eventually?

Because Social Security benefits are not subject to appropriation, the Social Security Administration has told the House Committee on Ways and Means that the checks would go out."


The Rest..

So, that's a relief!
