Missed Paychecks for Missed Deadlines Act
Refreshed 4 h ago
Introduced 2026-08-31Topic: governance ethics · budgetSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would withhold pay from Members of Congress for each day a federal government shutdown is in effect. For every 24-hour period of a shutdown during a pay period, the payroll offices of the House and Senate would subtract one day's worth of each Member's pay. Members could not later receive back pay for those shutdown periods. A shutdown is defined as a lapse in funding for any federal agency or department because a regular appropriations bill or continuing resolution was not enacted. The rules would begin with the 120th Congress and apply to each Congress after that.
