About this listen

When a federal government shutdown cancels approved leave or requires you to work, your vacation plans can unravel fast. In this episode, Chris explains how travel insurance—especially Cancel For Any Reason (CFAR) and “Required to Work” clauses—may help reduce your losses, the purchase-by timing most travelers overlook, and practical steps to strengthen a claim. We wrap with 2026 group travel opportunities with Yes We Can Travel (including Greece: Journeys of Paul and more).

Key points:

  • Shutdown impact: canceled leave & mandatory work
  • CFAR vs. “Required to Work”: what each can cover
  • Timing matters: buy soon after your first trip payment
  • Claim tips: documentation & expectations
  • Sneak peek: 2026 Yes We Can Travel groups
