The House voted on Saturday to give back pay to furloughed federal employees on Saturday to reduce the hardship resulting from the ongoing partial government shutdown.
The vote was 407-0.
The measure is likely to go into effect quickly as the Obama administration said it supports retroactive pay for federal employees. This support is one of the few areas of agreement among the White House and House Republicans, as the latter are at loggerheads with the Senate and White House in the ongoing partial federal government shutdown, which began on Tuesday.
