A $1,776 "warrior dividend" will be paid to 1,450,000 military service members in honor of the nation's founding year, 1776. The payments are scheduled to be distributed before Christmas. The funding comes from congressionally allocated reconciliation funds designated to subsidize the Basic Allowance for Housing (BAH) entitlement.

The payments are not sourced from tariff revenue.
