What this bill would do

This bill is known as the Armed Forces Pay Act of 2025. It provides ongoing funding for military pay and pay for specific intelligence community civilian employees during a government shutdown. The funding covers members of the Armed Forces, including reserve components, and civilian employees of the Department of Defense, the Coast Guard, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence, and the Central Intelligence Agency. The funding under this Act lasts until regular appropriations are enacted or until September 30, 2026, whichever happens first. It also treats the appropriated funds as specifically authorized by Congress for intelligence activities during fiscal year 2026.
