The Coast Guard announced last Friday that its workforce would be paid on Dec. 31 through a deal with the Trump administration and the Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

"The Administration, the Department of Homeland Security, and the Coast Guard have identified a way to pay our military workforce on Dec. 31, 2018," reads a post on the Coast Guard's All Hands blog.

"This one-time action applies to military members that served on active duty in the month of December and those reserve military members that drilled prior to the lapse in appropriation," it continues.

The federal government has been in a partial shutdown since Dec. 22 as lawmakers have been at odds over Trump's demand for $5 billion in funding for a wall along the southern border.

DHS, under which the Coast Guard operates, is among the agencies not being funded because of the shutdown. Other U.S. military branches are not affected.
