WASHINGTON — Most Transportation Security Administration employees have now received at least two periods of back pay they had missed due to DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis confirmed Monday that the payments were sent, as the shutdown hit a record-breaking 44th day.
“A small population might see a slight delay due to a variety of reasons, including financial institution processing times or issues with their direct deposit,” Bis added.Most Transportation Security Administration employees have now received at least two periods of back pay they had missed due to the Department of Homeland Security shutdown.“We are working aggressively with USDA’s National Finance Center to complete processing for the half paycheck they are owed from pay period 3 as soon as possible.”How the ultra-rich are skipping TSA lines, clogged airports as chaos spiralstold MS NOW that the pay “will significantly bring down the wait times” at US airports and bring “a majority” of the employees back to the job. President Trump signed an executive order on Friday, “to provide TSA employees with the compensation and benefits that would have accrued to them if not for the Democrat-led DHS shutdown, consistent with applicable law.”According to DHS, more than 500 TSA agents working without pay during the more than 40-day shutdown ended up quitting. Thousands more called out of work.Some House Democrats, like Rep. Jim Himes , claimed that “the president is illegally paying, apparently, TSA agents” — despite his party having voted seven times against a bill funding DHS this year. “Nothing will truly be normal again until Democrats do the right thing to fund this agency fully,” White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt said at Monday’s press briefing. Earlier, Leavitt had said: “The president is also encouraging Congress to come back to Washington to permanently fix this problem.” Congressional Democrats voted down DHS funding in protest of the fatal shootings by federal immigration officers of Renee Good and Alex Pretti in Minneapolis earlier this year.Early Friday, a bipartisan funding bill that excluded funding for agencies like Immigration and Customs Enforcement was passed in the Senate — but House Republicans GOP leaders accused Democrats of including “radical” provisions that would halt border enforcement entirely. Senate Majority Leader John Thune and others hadn’t raised those objections, but emphasized that Democrats had failed to secure reforms they sought, such as forcing ICE agents to go maskless.Delta flight's engine explodes in heart-stopping video — forcing packed plane to make emergency landingPentagon preparing for weeks of ground operations in Iran — as Trump warned regime to ‘get serious’ about peace deal: reportBritney Spears reunites with son Sean Preston, 20, on yacht trip after DUI arrestMost Transportation Security Administration employees have now received at least two periods of back pay they had missed due to the Department of Homeland Security shutdown.According to DHS, more than 500 TSA agents working without pay during the more than 40-day shutdown ended up quitting.
