Pay Our Coast Guard Parity Act of 2025

What this bill does

AI plain-language summary

This bill would give the Coast Guard money to keep paying its military members and certain civilian workers during specific funding gaps. The funding gap would happen when Congress hasn't approved money for the Coast Guard for the new budget year, but has approved money for the Department of Defense. The bill would cover military pay, some civilian pay, death benefits, and funeral-related travel costs. This special funding would last until either Congress approves Coast Guard funding, Defense Department funding runs out, or two weeks pass.
