Funding A Secure America Act
This bill provides stopgap funding to maintain pay and operations for specific government personnel if Congress fails to pass full-year budget bills by October 2024. It directly affects military members (including reserves), Defense and Coast Guard civilian staff, border agents (CBP), immigration officers (ICE), Transportation Security Administration staff, air traffic controllers, and Veterans Affairs employees processing benefits. Key provisions ensure continued salaries for these workers during funding gaps, covering mission-critical functions like border security, military support, and VA benefit delivery. The funding expires automatically on October 1, 2024, or earlier if regular appropriations are enacted.
