Would pay federal workers and military members for the government shutdown that began October 1, 2025.
This bill would ensure federal employees, military members, and contract workers get paid for the government shutdown that began on October 1, 2025. It would also require federal agencies to pay contractors for costs they took on because of the shutdown. These payments would be retroactive, covering the period from September 30, 2025.
Today, during a government shutdown, many federal employees are furloughed without pay or required to work without immediate pay, and federal contractors typically do not get paid for work suspended due to the shutdown. If this bill becomes law, federal employees, military members, and contract employees would receive their standard pay and benefits for the shutdown that began October 1, 2025, and agencies would be required to pay contractors for their shutdown-related costs.
