US EditionHere’s Who Is Getting Paid at DHS and Who Isn’t
Federal leaders are processing back pay for two missed March paychecks for TSA workers, but partial February payments remain unpaid as airport security lines face disruptions.
- On Monday, roughly 61,000 Transportation Security Administration employees began receiving back pay for two missed paychecks during the 45-day partial government shutdown.
- The partial government shutdown reached 45 days on Monday, stemming from a February 14 funding lapse after Congress failed to pass a Department of Homeland Security budget.
- While TSA staff received payments, American Federation of Government Employees national president Everett Kelley noted that FEMA, Coast Guard, and other DHS personnel remain unpaid.
- Although back pay is processing, employees await the balance from partial February checks. White House Border Czar Tom Homan stated it remains unclear if these payments will improve airport security lines.
- Lawmakers entered a two-week recess last week, leaving the impasse unresolved. President Donald Trump blamed Democratic lawmakers for the shutdown.
