This bill aims to appropriate necessary funds to ensure that federal employees, military personnel, and supporting contractors receive their full standard employee compensation during any lapse in appropriations. It specifically covers individuals who did not receive pay or were furloughed due to a government shutdown occurring between October 1, 2025, and the bill's enactment date. The legislation defines "covered individuals" broadly to include employees across all government branches, District of Columbia public employers, members of the Armed Forces (including reserves), and contractors providing support to agency employees. Agencies are mandated to provide these affected individuals with their full standard employee compensation, including basic pay, allowances, and benefits, within seven days of the bill's enactment. Funds appropriated under this Act are explicitly limited for the sole purpose of providing this compensation and cannot be transferred or used for any other expenditure. Furthermore, the bill ensures that all covered individuals, regardless of furlough status, are compensated as if they had performed their job duties for the entire affected period, with a retroactive effective date of September 30, 2025.
