    (a) Appropriation of Funds for Military Pay and Allowances.--If a 
funding gap occurs during fiscal year 2011 impacting the Armed Forces, 
amounts are hereby appropriated, out of any money in the Treasury not 
otherwise appropriated, at a rate for operations as provided for 
military personnel accounts by division A of H.R. 1, as passed by the 
House of Representatives on February 19, 2011, for the purpose of 
providing pay and allowances (without interruption) to members of the 
Army, Navy, Air Force, Marine Corps, and Coast Guard, including reserve 
components thereof, who perform active service during the funding gap.
    (b) Funding Gap Defined.--In this section, the term ``funding gap'' 
means any period of time after the beginning of fiscal year 2011 for 
which interim or full-year appropriations for the military personnel 
accounts of the Armed Forces for that fiscal year have not been enacted 
by a law other than this Act.
