Fund CISA Personnel Act of 2026

Key Points

• This bill ensures that employees at the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency continue to receive their paychecks and benefits during a government shutdown. It covers their normal salary, health insurance, and other standard payments they usually get.
• The plan is designed to protect national security. By making sure these workers are paid on time, the government hopes to keep expert security analysts on the job instead of losing them to private companies during budget standoffs.
• The bill is backdated to February 13, 2026. This means if there was already a time when the government was shut down before this bill passed, the workers would still get the money they earned during that period.
• This is a short-term fix. The special funding stops as soon as Congress passes a regular yearly budget or by the end of September 2026. Any money spent under this bill will be counted against the agency's final budget once it is officially approved.
