This bill ensures the continuity of operations and fair compensation for Transportation Security Administration (TSA) personnel, taking effect retroactively to February 13, 2026. It provides continuing appropriations for the period beginning February 14, 2026, during any lapse in regular appropriations, covering standard pay, allowances, and benefits for TSA employees. This measure aims to prevent disruptions in essential transportation security services and ensure the workforce is compensated during potential government shutdowns. A significant provision includes a $10,000 bonus for each Transportation Security Officer (TSO) employed and working as of February 14, 2026, though this bonus will not count towards basic pay for retirement or other benefits. Additionally, the legislation mandates a minimum annual salary of $40,000 for TSOs for fiscal year 2026, with required annual adjustments for inflation based on the Consumer Price Index starting in fiscal year 2027. These appropriations and authorities will terminate upon the enactment of a regular appropriation, a continuing resolution without such appropriation, or by September 30, 2026, whichever occurs first.
