I know that those who provide emergency services like search and rescue teams in national parks are being paid.
Some Federal employees are being furloughed but still need to work to provide only "essential services" but they will not be paid until the government re-opens. Others are furloughed but are forbidden to work at all and will also be paid eventually.

It's very complicated and it seems that some departments are running around like chickens without heads because they don't know what the new rules are regarding this.
