Ensuring continuous pay for military personnel during government shutdowns
This bill aims to ensure that military members, including reservists and the National Guard, continue to receive their pay and allowances without interruption, even if the federal government temporarily shuts down due to a lack of budget approval. This means their families will not have to worry about losing income during such situations.
Key points
Guarantees continuous pay for all military personnel, including the Coast Guard, during government funding lapses.
Funds for payments will be automatically available from the Treasury to prevent delays.
Pay rates will remain the same as before the lapse, unless altered for disciplinary reasons.
