AI Summary

This bill, titled the Support Our Armed Forces Act, aims to amend the Pay Our Military Act to ensure that all civilian and contractor employees of the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard, as well as all members of the reserve components of the Armed Forces, receive their pay even during a Government shutdown. Specifically, it clarifies that "all members" of the military should be paid, and expands the types of service for which reserve component members are paid to include "inactive-duty training" or "annual training" in addition to active service. The bill also broadens the definition of civilian personnel to include various types of technicians and federally reimbursed State civilian employees supporting the National Guard, and ensures that compensation is provided to all employees performing activities under contract with the Department of Defense or the Coast Guard, rather than only those deemed essential by the Secretary.
