The Social Security Administration will still be able to send out payments to eligible Americans in the event of a government shutdown on September 30.This year, about 67 million Americans will receive a monthly Social Security benefit, according to the Social Security Administration, adding up to about $1.4 trillion in benefits paid in 2023.
