Transportation Security Administration employees are expected to begin receiving overdue pay as early as Monday, according to the Department of Homeland Security, following emergency action taken by President Donald Trump.

The payments come after Trump signed an order on Friday invoking emergency powers to ensure TSA personnel are compensated after weeks without pay during the ongoing funding standoff.

A DHS spokesperson confirmed that the process to issue payments is already underway and that funds will begin reaching workers shortly.

“Today, at the direction of President Trump and the Secretary of Homeland Security Markwayne Mullin, TSA has immediately begun the process of paying its workforce. TSA officers should begin seeing paychecks as early as Monday, March 30,” a DHS spokesperson told The NY Post.

The department also expressed appreciation for the move, noting the impact it will have on workers who continued reporting to duty despite not receiving pay.

“TSA is grateful to the President and Secretary for their leadership to put money back into the pockets of TSA employees who worked without pay during the ongoing Democrat DHS shutdown.”
