HR 5492: PAAF Act

This bill, the Protect Adoptees and American Families Act (PAAF Act), automatically grants U.S. citizenship to certain internationally adopted children who meet specific criteria. It directly affects children adopted by U.S. citizen parents before age 18, who were living in the U.S. under legal custody before turning 18, and who were not already U.S. citizens. The key mechanism provides automatic citizenship for those already residing in the U.S. on the bill's effective date, and for those outside the U.S. upon lawful entry, subject to a criminal background check for visa issuance. It clarifies citizenship eligibility under immigration law without requiring additional naturalization steps for qualifying adoptees.

HR 5462: Michelle Alyssa Go Act

HR 5401: Pay Our Troops Act of 2026

HR 5401, the Pay Our Troops Act of 2026, ensures military personnel, civilian Defense workers, and supporting contractors receive pay during government funding gaps in fiscal year 2026. It appropriates emergency funds for active-duty service members, reserves, and their supporting personnel (including Coast Guard staff under DHS) if regular appropriations aren't enacted by the end of the fiscal year. The bill provides necessary pay and allowances during any period when full-year funding is unavailable, covering both active service and support roles. Funding expires when regular appropriations are passed, a funding resolution is enacted, or January 1, 2027, whichever comes first. This is a procedural measure to prevent pay delays for military and support staff during fiscal year 2026 funding lapses.
