Bill overview
The Pay Our Coast Guard Parity Act of 2025 aims to ensure that members of the Coast Guard receive appropriate pay and benefits even if Congress fails to pass a full funding bill before the start of a fiscal year. Specifically, the bill establishes a mechanism to provide funding to the Coast Guard during a ‘funding lapse,’ covering military personnel, civilian employees, contract employees, death gratuities, funeral travel expenses, and housing allowances for dependents of deceased service members. Funding would continue until an appropriations act is passed, the Department of Defense appropriations expire, or two weeks after the lapse begins.
