This bill aims to guarantee the continuity of pay and allowances for members of the Armed Forces during any lapse in federal appropriations for fiscal year 2025. It specifically appropriates necessary funds to ensure that active duty personnel, reserve components, and those engaged in inactive-duty training continue to receive their compensation. Beyond uniformed service members, the legislation also extends coverage to civilian employees and contractors of the Department of Defense, and the Department of Homeland Security for the Coast Guard, who are determined to be providing direct support to these military personnel. These appropriations will remain in effect until a new relevant appropriation is enacted, a regular appropriations resolution is passed without such funding, or January 1, 2026, whichever comes first.
Referred to the House Committee on Appropriations.
