Nope. Coast Guard is now under the Department of Homeland Security and unfunded.
I understand the Coast Guard is under the Department of Homeland Security, that is my concern. Always treated as step children.
Trump is aware - worked to get them paid through the end of the year, so at least they got one more paycheck they would not have gotten otherwise. Problem there going forward, of course.
Trump personally intervened to pay Coast Guard in shutdown

From article:
“Will I get paid on Jan. 15? This approval only covers the Dec. 31, 2018 paycheck. It does not guarantee a paycheck on Jan. 15, 2019. Meeting active duty and reserve military payroll for January 2019 will require a fiscal year 2019 appropriation, a continuing resolution, or passage of an alternative measure.”
“Why the change from earlier guidance that indicated the Coast Guard military members would not be paid on Dec. 31? Generally, the Coast Guard lacks the authority to pay its members during a lapse in appropriations. The circumstances of this lapse are unique because of the timeline of the lapse in relation to the military pay process. Ultimately, extensive research and legal analysis between the Coast Guard, DHS, and OMB determined the Coast Guard has the authority to execute the remainder of pay and allowances for December.”
