Indeed. My father and brother are filing for it soon. The House and Senate are both pushing for furloughed employees to receive backpay, which is sure to make some heads roll, meh. As for myself...I was called to return to work shortly after and I am still expected to work while not receiving a paycheck (I'm guaranteed to be paid eventually while furloughed employees may or may not receive anything, although I recall reading every previous furlough has resulted in employees getting retropay).
