Coast Guard personnel will get paid this week despite the partial government shutdown, Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem said.
Noem said in a social media post on Monday that her department had come up with an “innovative solution” to pay Coast Guard personnel, which she identified as funds taken out of the GOP budget reconciliation package that backers have dubbed the “one big, beautiful bill.”
“Thanks to President Trump’s leadership and the One Big Beautiful Bill, the brave men and women of the US Coast Guard will not miss a paycheck this week as they continue to carry out their critical homeland security and military missions,” Noem wrote on the social platform X.
