The bill would provide funding for pay and allowances during a lapse in fiscal year 2025 appropriations. It covers Armed Forces members performing active service or inactive-duty training, plus certain Defense Department and Coast Guard civilian employees and contractors whom the relevant Secretary determines support those members. The funding would end when a new appropriation takes effect, when an applicable funding measure is enacted without such an appropriation, or on January 1, 2026, whichever comes first.
Eligible service members could continue receiving pay and allowances during a funding lapse. Certain civilian employees and contractors who support them could also be covered. The bill does not describe effects on people outside those groups.
