Some lawmakers have noted the offer of pay through Sept. 30 violates the Anti-Deficiency Act.

A spokesperson for the Trump administration's Office of Personnel Management stressed that no federal employees' pay will be guaranteed with the deadline looming.

Any government shutdown could potentially affect an employee's pay regardless of whether he or she accepted the deferred resignation offer.
