What this bill would do

The "Pay Our Military Act" is designed to ensure that pay and allowances continue for members of the military if there is a lapse in appropriations. It provides necessary funds for members of the Armed Forces, including reserve components, during periods when full-year or interim appropriations for fiscal year 2026 are not in effect. Additionally, it covers civilian employees and contractors of the Department of Defense and the Coast Guard who are providing support to the military. The funding lasts until a regular appropriation is enacted or until January 1, 2027.
