S 876 United States Senate · 119th Congress

Pay Our Military Act of 2025

This bill ensures military personnel, including active-duty members, reserve components, and their support staff (such as civilian employees and contractors working with the Department of Defense or Coast Guard) receive pay during fiscal year 2025 if Congress fails to pass a full budget. It sets aside funds from the Treasury to cover pay and allowances for these groups during any gap in regular appropriations. The funding remains available until Congress passes a full budget, the budget deadline passes, or January 1, 2026 - whichever occurs first. The bill directly affects service members, military support staff, and contractors dependent on timely pay during budget transitions.
