Pay Our Military Act of 2024
This bill provides funding to pay military personnel, civilian Defense Department staff, and supporting contractors during gaps in regular budget approval for fiscal year 2025. It appropriates necessary funds for active-duty service members (including reserves), Defense civilians, and contractors supporting military operations if Congress hasn't passed a full budget by the end of FY2025. The funding is temporary, ending on January 1, 2026, or when Congress passes a regular budget for the relevant purpose. It directly affects all active-duty military members, Defense Department civilians, and contractors providing military support during the funding gap.
