Active-duty service members won't get paid on time unless #Congress passes a separate piece of #legislation, as it did in 2013 with the "Pay Our Military Act," which ensured #military pay & allowances continued during a government #shutdown.
Rep Jen Kiggans (R-VA) introduced a bill in Sept with bipartisan support, the "Pay Our Troops Act of 2026," to keep members of the military & Coast Guard paid during a shutdown, but it did not pass in time because the #House is out of session until Oct 7.
