Coast Guard May Receive Paycheck
The Department of Homeland Security is taking steps to ensure Coast Guardsmen receive their paychecks.
A Trump administration official confirmed that a plan to divert money to payroll may allow Coast Guardsmen to join their sister military services in receiving a paycheck this week.
President Trump directed the Department of Defense to use "all available funds" to cover Oct. 15 paychecks for military members.
- The Pentagon announced a plan to move $8 billion in "unobligated" funds to cover payments.
- The Coast Guard, part of the Department of Homeland Security, was initially not covered by this plan.
A possible fix for the Coast Guard has been found, according to an administration official.
