The longest shut down in history was in 2018, it lasted 35 days. The Depts of Labor and EDU still operate, they are just on delayed pay, so when it reopens, they get a paycheck. Same with every other department. Things like national parks shut down to visitors due to the staffing not being considered 100% needed.
But, everything pretty much runs the same, some people might just have to wait a month for a paycheck.

That is correct.
