We are working to ensure that federal employees who must work during government shutdowns receive timely pay and allowances, even when formal appropriations are delayed. This legislation aims to provide financial fairness and support to those essential workers while Congress resolves funding gaps.

Finally, a bill that says shutdowns shouldn't punish workers, not taxpayers! Let's pay the people who keep the lights on when Congress plays chicken.
