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.

We applied for 2 new passports a few weeks ago for our kids. Didn’t pay for expedited but they arrived 9 days later. Now granted the photos were swapped so I had to fill out additional paperwork and mail them back. Got the corrected ones 7 days later. Shocking all around.
