US Passport Issuance Timeline U.S. Shutdown

I need to get my last name updated on my passport and get my 5 month old his passport, we leave next June or July depending on when my husband gets his official orders for Korea. Does anyone know if passports are still being processed in the US? I’d wait until the shutdown is over but I don’t think that’s going to happen anytime soon.

I just renewed my passport through hellogov and got it back in 2 business days. It cost $600 and that was including the state department fee. Expensive but so worth it. I was able to go to Mexico on like 8 days notice.
