What if the Postal Service Runs Out of Money?

The U.S. Postal Service is teetering on the brink of financial collapse and is very close to running out of money. Its fate appeared sealed on Tuesday when Congress decided not to give USPS about $4 billion in financial relief as part of the temporary spending measure it will pass before the recess.

So what does this mean for mail customers only concerned about sending and receiving mail? It means the possibility of delayed mail deliveries if the Postal Service runs low on cash and has to furlough workers.
