Guaranteeing Pay for Troops and Support Staff During Government Shutdowns
This law ensures that active duty military members, reservists, and essential civilian employees and contractors supporting the Armed Forces will receive their pay and allowances during Fiscal Year 2025, even if the federal government experiences a budget shutdown. This measure aims to protect the financial stability of military families and maintain critical defense operations during a funding lapse.
Key points
Guarantees continuous pay for all active duty service members and reservists if Congress fails to pass a budget.
Funding also covers essential civilian employees of the Department of Defense and contractors who provide direct support to active forces.
These emergency funds are available until a regular appropriation bill is enacted or until January 1, 2026, whichever comes first.
