What Travelers Should Know: Squaremouth Shares FAQs About Travel Insurance During the Government Shutdown

15 October 2025

As the U.S. government shutdown disrupts air travel, Squaremouth, a travel insurance comparison platform, has answered key questions about what travelers can and can’t expect from their insurance coverage. Most policies do not cover missed flights due to long TSA lines, as these are considered avoidable delays. However, Trip Cancellation and Travel Delay benefits may apply if flights are canceled or delayed due to airline or air traffic control staffing shortages. Travelers who lose their government jobs as a result of the shutdown may be covered if their policy includes Employment Layoff and was purchased before the shutdown. To cancel a trip simply because of the shutdown, Cancel For Any Reason coverage is required. Squaremouth recommends reading policies carefully to understand exact protections.
