HR 4287 United States House · 118th Congress

Money Where Our Mouths Are Act

HR 4287, the "Money Where Our Mouths Are Act," would withhold pay from Members of Congress during government shutdowns. Specifically, if a shutdown occurs during a pay period, the bill requires deducting one day's salary for each full day of the shutdown from that Member's compensation. This applies automatically to all House and Senate members as defined by law, with payroll offices handling the calculation. The measure takes effect for the 119th Congress and future sessions.
