Yes, Congress still gets paid during a government shutdown

"That's in large part thanks to the US Constitution. Article I, Section 6 requires that senators and representatives "receive a Compensation for their Services," while the 27th Amendment states that any law changing that compensation can't take effect before the following election. Since 1981, lawmakers' salaries have been funded via mandatory spending, which is not impacted by government shutdowns. Rank-and-file members of Congress are paid $174,000 per year, a figure that hasn't budged since 2009, despite inflation."

"Rep. Angie Craig introduced a bill on Tuesday called the "No Pay for Disarray" Act, which would dock each day's pay for the duration of the shutdown from lawmakers' salaries. In order to comply with the 27th amendment, that amount would be returned to lawmakers at the end of the session. The Minnesota Democrat previously introduced a version of the bill in 2023."

A government shutdown could cause millions of federal workers to miss paychecks, while members of Congress continue to receive salaries. Constitutional provisions—Article I, Section 6 and the 27th Amendment—protect congressional compensation and prevent immediate changes to pay. Since 1981, Congress's pay has been funded through mandatory spending that is not affected by shutdowns. Rank-and-file members earn $174,000 annually, unchanged since 2009. Some lawmakers have sought symbolic or procedural measures, including a bill to dock pay during shutdowns and individual requests to withhold pay, though legal and constitutional constraints limit immediate alterations. Federal employees furloughed or delayed are ultimately paid retroactively under existing law.
