Pay Our Military Act

This bill would set aside money from the U.S. Treasury to keep paying members of the Armed Forces, including reserve members, if Congress has not passed funding for fiscal year 2026. It would also cover pay for Defense Department civilian employees and contractors whom the Secretary determines are supporting those service members, with the same rules applying to the Coast Guard under Homeland Security. The funding would end when Congress passes regular or temporary funding for these purposes, or on January 1, 2027, whichever comes first.
