Bill > S876

This bill, called the "Pay Our Military Act of 2025," is designed to ensure that military personnel, certain civilian Department of Defense (DoD) and Coast Guard employees, and DoD and Coast Guard contractors continue to receive pay during a potential government shutdown in fiscal year 2025. Specifically, the bill provides appropriations from the U.S. Treasury to cover pay and allowances for active-duty military members (including reserve components), civilian personnel supporting military operations, and contractors supporting military operations when regular government funding is not in effect. The appropriations will remain available until either a new appropriations bill is passed, a continuing resolution is enacted without funding for these purposes, or until January 1, 2026, whichever occurs first. This legislation is designed to protect the financial stability of military personnel and critical support staff during potential political budget impasses, ensuring that those serving the country are not financially penalized due to congressional budget disputes.
