Ensures military members and support staff would get paid during government funding gaps in 2026.
This bill would make sure that active military members, reservists, and key civilian and contract staff supporting them get paid on time. This would happen even if the government temporarily runs out of funding in the government's budget year 2026. Right now, their pay could be delayed during such funding gaps.
Today, during a government funding gap, military members, their civilian support staff, and contractors might face delayed or suspended pay. If this bill becomes law, these groups would continue to receive their pay and allowances without interruption. This would apply during any funding gaps in the government's budget year 2026.
