TSA officers receive their 1st paychecks in weeks

TSA officers received their first paychecks in more than a month on Monday, according to statements made to ABC News. The delay reflected a broader federal government funding crisis that left roughly 380,000 federal workers without pay during a shutdown. The back-to-date payments mark an end to the financial hardship that forced many officers to seek emergency loans or take on additional work while continuing to staff airport security checkpoints. The resumption of paychecks comes as Congress moved to resolve the funding lapse that had idled or delayed compensation across multiple federal agencies.
