The bill would provide money from the Treasury to pay salaries and allowances during a government shutdown in fiscal year 2026 or 2027. It covers Department of Homeland Security law enforcement personnel, employees and contractors the Secretary determines are needed to carry out the payments, and Coast Guard members, civilian personnel, and contractors where other law does not provide for them. The funding would end when specified appropriations are enacted, when an appropriations bill or continuing resolution is enacted without funding for these purposes, or on January 1, 2027, whichever comes first.
If enacted, the bill would help ensure that covered Homeland Security and Coast Guard personnel continue to receive pay and allowances during a qualifying shutdown. It does not describe direct payments or services for the public.
The bill would provide whatever sums are necessary, but it does not state a specific amount. No publicly available information on the total cost is provided in the bill text.
