The bill would provide money for pay and related benefits for active-duty members of the Armed Forces, including reserve members on active service, during a gap in fiscal year 2026 funding. It would also cover pay for certain Defense Department and Coast Guard civilian workers and payments to contractors who support those service members. The funding would end when specified fiscal year 2026 appropriations are enacted or on September 30, 2026, whichever happens first. The bill would take effect as if enacted on September 30, 2025.
If a funding gap occurs, eligible service members would receive pay and listed benefits. Certain civilian workers and contractors who support them could also be paid if the relevant secretary determines they qualify. The bill does not describe effects on the public more broadly.
The bill would provide whatever amounts are needed for the listed payments from Treasury funds not otherwise appropriated. Those expenditures would later be charged to the relevant appropriation, fund, or authorization. No total amount is stated.
