AI Summary
This bill makes sure military pay continues during a government shutdown. If Congress hasn’t passed a budget for 2025, it keeps money flowing so service members still get their pay and allowances. It also covers certain Defense Department and Coast Guard support staff and contractors who help our troops, so they can keep working and get paid too .
These payments last until new funding is signed into law or until January 1, 2026, whichever comes first.
- Who is covered: Active-duty and reserve service members doing training or service; certain civilian employees and contractors supporting them (including some Coast Guard support when it’s under Homeland Security).
- What changes: Pay and allowances keep going even if there’s a shutdown, so troops and key support staff don’t miss paychecks.
- When it applies: During any gap in 2025 funding, ending once new funding is enacted or by January 1, 2026.
