Transportation Security Administration Pay Act of 2026

Sponsored By: Senator Jacky Rosen

Introduced

Summary

Guarantees TSA pay during a lapse in FY 2026 funding. This bill would let the Treasury provide amounts needed to keep Transportation Security Administration employees on their regular pay, allowances, pay differentials, benefits, and other payments while appropriations lapse beginning February 14, 2026.

Show full summary
  • TSA employees would continue to receive standard pay and benefits during the lapse. The authority is retroactive to February 13, 2026 and funds are limited to those who would otherwise get paid.
  • Airports, travelers, and security operations would see fewer disruptions because staffing and pay continue during the funding gap.
  • The bill would draw from Treasury funds not otherwise appropriated and requires those expenditures to be charged to the applicable appropriation once regular funding is enacted. The authority ends at the earliest of regular appropriation enactment, an act that omits these funds, or September 30, 2026.

TSA employees keep pay during lapse

If enacted, this bill would keep TSA employees getting their normal pay, allowances, pay differentials, and benefits during a funding lapse. The lapse period covered would begin on February 14, 2026, and the bill would take effect as if enacted on February 13, 2026. Money would come from Treasury funds not otherwise appropriated and would be charged to the applicable appropriation when Congress later enacts it into law. Payments would follow the same rules and limits that apply under the Full-Year Continuing Appropriations and Extensions Act, 2025, and employees could not be paid twice for the same days. The funds would be available only until Congress enacts an appropriation for these purposes, until an Act is passed that does not provide such an appropriation, or until September 30, 2026.
