TSA employee pay during shutdown
If enacted, TSA employees would keep receiving their regular pay, allowances, pay differentials, benefits, and other routine payments for any lapse period beginning February 14, 2026. The bill would authorize from the Treasury "such sums as are necessary" for those payments and would take effect as if enacted on February 13, 2026. Funds would be available only until the earliest of: Congress enacts an appropriation covering these pay items; Congress enacts the applicable appropriations resolution or other Act without such an appropriation; or September 30, 2026. Payments would follow the rules in Public Law 119-4, would not pay for any period already funded by other money, and would be charged to the correct appropriation once Congress enacts it.
