Summary
The True Shutdown Fairness Act would allocate money from the Treasury so that federal employees, active‑duty service members, reservists performing active service, and contractors continue receiving their normal compensation when appropriations lapse in fiscal year 2026. Agency heads must issue those payments promptly—within seven days if a shutdown is already in effect, or on regular pay dates thereafter. Contractors can also be reimbursed for reasonable costs incurred to pay their staff and restore any paid leave used during the shutdown.
