How This Affects You

If you are a TSA worker, you will miss your first full paycheck due to the government shutdown.

AI Summary

Transportation Security Administration (TSA) workers are scheduled to miss their first full paycheck on Friday due to the partial government shutdown. This occurs as bipartisan compromise efforts to reopen the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) have stalled in Congress. The shutdown is nearly four weeks old and is the third to impact DHS employees recently. The documented consequence is that TSA workers will miss their first full paycheck.
