WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Verizon Communications said Tuesday that it will offer government workers impacted by a two-week-old government shutdown payment deferral options.

Federal workers are beginning to receive partial paychecks due to the ongoing budget standoff.

"If federal employees need relief during the shutdown, they can reach out to us and we will keep them connected," said Verizon CEO Dan Schulman.
