INCIRLIK AIR BASE, Turkey -- Air Force officials launched a new website recently that provides information about the impact of a lapse of appropriations on federal employees.

The website, http://www.af.mil/2011appropriationsinformation.asp, contains information for anyone who may be concerned about the possibility of a government shutdown should Congress be unable to pass a funding bill before the current bill expires April 8.

All Department of Defense employees are required to report to work at their regular duty hour, Monday, April 11, even if a continuing resolution or budget has not been signed by Congress, officials at the Civilian Personnel Section here said.

If you have questions about whether you will be affected by a furlough or about your entitlements, you can contact the CPS at DSN676-3067 or DSN 676-3512.
