AI Summary
This bill, the Pay Our Coast Guard Act, amends Title 14 of the United States Code to provide continued pay and benefits for Coast Guard military members, civilian employees, and contract employees in the event of a Coast Guard-specific funding lapse, where the Department of Defense's appropriations are enacted but the Coast Guard's are not. This ensures Coast Guard personnel continue to receive equitable treatment compared to other members of the armed forces during a funding lapse. The bill specifies the type of personnel covered, the types of payments authorized, and the duration of the appropriations made available.
