Ensuring Continuous Pay for Service Members During Government Shutdowns

This bill aims to ensure that military personnel, including reservists and the National Guard, continue to receive their pay and allowances without interruption, even if the federal government temporarily runs out of funding. This means their basic pay, bonuses, and other benefits will be paid regularly, regardless of budget disputes in Congress. This provides financial stability for service members and their families during uncertain times.
Key points
Guarantees continuous pay for all service members, including National Guard and reservists, during government funding lapses.
Ensures basic pay, bonuses, and allowances are paid without delay.
Funds for payments will come directly from the Treasury, without waiting for new budget legislation.
