TSA officers would get higher minimum pay and bonuses, plus guaranteed pay during government shutdowns.
This bill would give Transportation Security Officers a new minimum annual salary of $40,000 and a $10,000 bonus. It would also make sure all Transportation Security Administration employees get paid during future government shutdowns, starting February 14, 2026.
Today, Transportation Security Administration employees, including Transportation Security Officers, could face unpaid work or furloughs during a government shutdown, and TSOs do not have a mandated minimum annual salary or inflation adjustments. This bill would change that by ensuring all TSA employees continue to get paid during a funding lapse starting February 14, 2026. It would also set a $40,000 minimum annual salary for TSOs for the government's budget year 2026 and add yearly inflation adjustments, plus a $10,000 bonus for eligible TSOs.
