## 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. - 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.
