WASHINGTON — The White House said it has found money to pay the military as the government shutdown nears 30 days.
The White House Office of Management and Budget found the $5.3 billion needed to pay military members, an OMB official confirmed to ABC News.
The funding will come from three areas:
- $2.5 billion from a military housing fund specified in Trump's "One Big Beautiful Bill" to continue paying housing allowances for military personnel.
- $1.4 billion from the Research, Development, Test and Evaluation fund, which primarily will cover U.S. Army and Air Force payroll.
- $1.4 billion from a Defense Department procurement account for building U.S. Navy ships, largely to fund the Navy and Marines.
With this workaround, members of the military will get paid this upcoming Friday.
