ASAP Act

This bill ensures active-duty military members continue receiving full pay during government shutdowns when funding lapses. It authorizes using Treasury funds to cover military pay and allowances at pre-shutdown rates without interruption, applying to all branches including the Coast Guard. The law specifies that pay rates cannot exceed what was in effect before the shutdown began and clarifies these payments will later be charged to the regular budget when funding resumes. This directly affects military personnel by preventing pay delays during funding gaps.
