Pay and benefits money is available for payments under the antideficiency rule
What the document says“Amounts made available in division A of the Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 (division A of Public Law 119-37), and Public Law 119-21 for personnel pay, allowances, and benefits in each department and agency shall be available for payments pursuant to subsection (c) of section 1341 of title 31, United States Code, and such payments shall be made.”
Section 103 of division B. Money for personnel pay, allowances and benefits under division A of this Act, under the earlier continuing appropriations act and under Public Law 119-21 is available for payments under section 1341(c) of title 31, and the section provides that those payments shall be made.
What the document actually says“Amounts made available in division A of the Homeland Security and Further Additional Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026, the Continuing Appropriations Act, 2026 (division A of Public Law 119-37), and Public Law 119-21 for personnel pay, allowances, and benefits in each department and agency shall be available for payments pursuant to subsection (c) of section 1341 of title 31, United States Code, and such payments shall be made.”
Money set aside for pay and benefits may be used for these payments. The law says the payments must be made.
Section 1341 is the rule on spending without funding. Its subsection (c) deals with pay after a gap. This makes the money available and orders the payments.
