Paying Our Great Transportation Security Administration Officers and Employees

The order directs federal agencies to provide pay and benefits to Transportation Security Administration (TSA) employees during the Department of Homeland Security shutdown by instructing the Secretary of Homeland Security, in coordination with the Director of the Office of Management and Budget, to use funds that have a reasonable and logical nexus to TSA operations to provide compensation and benefits that would have accrued absent the shutdown, consistent with applicable law. It also instructs agencies, once regular TSA funding is restored, to adjust DHS funding accounts as authorized by law to maintain planned operations, and clarifies implementation must follow applicable law and available appropriations.
