“Most” Transportation Security Administration employees got at least two periods of backpay as of Monday that they had missed due to the Department of Homeland Security shutdown, DHS Acting Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis said in a statement.
“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.
“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.”
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.
