On Monday local time, employees of the U.S. Transportation Security Administration (TSA) received their first paycheck in more than a month, a fact confirmed by multiple TSA staff members. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS), which oversees the TSA, stated on Monday that the majority of employees would receive at least two full paychecks corresponding to the past two pay periods. DHS also noted that due to "financial institution processing times or direct deposit issues," some employees might experience minor delays in receiving their wages. However, it remains unclear whether TSA employees will continue to receive paychecks in the future. Reports have already indicated that some employees who took leave did not receive payment. This payment followed President Trump's signing of a presidential memorandum last Friday. The memorandum instructed Markwayne Mullin to collaborate with the Office of Management and Budget to utilize funds "reasonably and logically connected to TSA operations" to pay the agency's employees. A senior government official stated that TSA employee salaries would be sourced from funds allocated under a major domestic policy bill signed by President Trump last summer. The partial government shutdown has now lasted 45 days. Since it began on February 14, TSA employees have been required to continue working. Many TSA personnel reported missing bill payments and having to take on part-time jobs to make ends meet. Union representatives also indicated that some employees had to withdraw their children from daycare, and others received eviction notices due to an inability to pay rent. Yolanda Keaton, a TSA employee at Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport, said on Monday, "This is only partial pay, and taxes and various deductions are still being taken out as usual. We did not receive the full back pay... Many colleagues received very small amounts, and not everyone got paid today." In response to reports of missing wages from some employees, Lauren Bis, Acting Assistant Secretary of DHS, stated, "We are working closely with the USDA National Finance Center to process the half-paycheck owed for the third pay period as quickly as possible." According to U.S. government website information, the U.S. Department of Agriculture manages payroll for over 590,000 federal employees. Additionally, it remains unclear what legal authority President Trump relied on for last Friday's pay directive. The White House has not yet responded to a request for comment from ABC. Prior to President Trump's order, Paul Uecker, a TSA employee at Dulles International Airport and Vice President of AFGE Local 899, stated that employees within the agency were under significant financial strain.
