What this bill does
AI plain-language summaryThis bill makes sure that military members, including reservists on active duty, keep getting paid during a government shutdown in fiscal year 2026. It also covers certain benefits like clothing, food, travel for permanent moves, and payments to surviving spouses caring for a child of a military member. In addition, the bill funds pay for civilian workers at the Department of Defense and certain Department of Homeland Security workers who support the military, as well as contractors providing that same support. The funding would last until either the regular government funding bills are passed or September 30, 2026, whichever comes first.
