尽管美国运输安全管理局（TSA）工作人员开始收到为期45天部分政府停摆期间的部分欠薪，但该局人员缺勤问题仍在拖累主要机场的安检通行效率，这些机场的人员短缺情况比全国平均水平更为严重，但周一的等待时间似乎趋于稳定。周日，TSA人员缺勤率仍处于高位，尽管有迹象显示部分欠薪已开始打入他们的银行账户。
尽管国会未能就国土安全部（DHS）的拨款法案达成一致，议员们已于周五离城开始两周的休会，但特朗普总统已签署行政令，指示国土安全部部长在停摆期间向TSA工作人员支付薪酬。
全国范围内，周日的缺勤率为10.6%，涉及3101名工作人员，较3月27日12.4%的峰值有所下降。即便如此，这一数字仍远高于正常水平——通常仅为个位数低位，约2%——这凸显出机场安检运营仍承受着巨大压力。
巴尔的摩/华盛顿国际机场的缺勤率达38.5%，休斯顿乔治·布什洲际机场为36.4%，该市威廉·P·霍比机场为34.1%。新奥尔良和亚特兰大机场的缺勤率均超过33%，而肯尼迪机场、拉瓜迪亚机场和费城机场等东北部主要枢纽机场的缺勤率均接近或超过20%。
周末期间，移民与海关执法局（ICE）人员被派往巴尔的摩/华盛顿国际机场及其他机场协助TSA工作。白宫边境事务专员汤姆·霍曼在接受CBS News《与玛格丽特·布伦南面对全国》节目采访时表示，将一直安排执法人员在岗，直到机场“感觉完全恢复正常”。周一，巴尔的摩/华盛顿国际机场的所有安检通道均已开放。
“现在我收到了这笔存款，车也都加满了油，我明天就能到岗了。”TSA工作人员、工会官员帕斯夸尔·孔特雷拉斯周一对CBS News说道。上周，他甚至连每天往返凤凰城天港机场两小时通勤的油费都负担不起了。
“这笔钱能付房租，能付三月的账单，但大家都知道，现在已经是四月了，这笔钱撑不了多久。”孔特雷拉斯说，“它足以——或许不会继续负债，但也没剩多少富余了。”
CBS News获取的一份发给TSA工作人员的通知显示，他们已收到160小时的薪酬，涵盖2月22日至3月21日的工作时长。他们仍未拿到2月14日至21日的薪酬，目前也不清楚是否已收到停摆期间加班时长的薪酬。去年秋季的政府停摆结束后，相关欠薪问题花了好几个发薪周期才解决完毕。
国土安全部官员表示，部分工作人员的薪酬已于周一早些时候入账，其他工作人员预计将在周二收到款项。该部门的目标是在周二营业结束前完成大部分工作人员的薪酬发放，最终截止日期为4月1日周三——当天有大量账单需要结清。
薪酬发放时间参差不齐是受银行操作流程影响，而非薪资发放顺序存在差异。国土安全部按照同一时间表提交了付款申请，但部分金融机构在收到到账通知后会立即释放资金，而其他机构则会等到正式结算日才处理。
此次薪酬发放此前经历了数周的中断。在国土安全部部分停摆期间，约5万名TSA工作人员无偿工作，这导致机场大范围延误、缺勤率高企和人员短缺问题。经济压力已迫使超过510名TSA工作人员辞职。
总统的行政令仅涵盖TSA工作人员的薪酬。移民与海关执法局人员仍能正常领到工资，因为国会在去年的《全面美好拨款法案》中为其提供了资金，但仍有数万名国土安全部工作人员继续无偿工作，其中包括海岸警卫队、联邦紧急事务管理局（FEMA）以及网络安全与基础设施安全局的雇员。
CBS News已向国土安全部询问更多细节，包括此次薪酬发放所依据的拨款或融资机制，以及该部门能维持此类支付多久。

TSA officer absence levels still elevated at some airports, even as workers begin to receive back pay

The shortage of TSA officers is still slowing security lines at major airports, where staffing shortages are more severe than the national average, but wait times seemed to be stabilizing Monday. TSA officers were calling out absent at elevated rates Sunday, even as there were signs that part of their back pay over the 45-day partial shutdown was beginning to reach their bank accounts.
Although Congress has failed to reach a deal to fund the Department of Homeland Security and lawmakers have left town Friday for a two-week recess, President Trump signed an executive order directing the DHS secretary to pay TSA workers during the shutdown.
Nationwide, the call-out rate stood at 10.6%, or 3,101 officers Sunday, down from a peak of 12.4% on March 27. Even so, the figure remains well above typical levels, which generally fall in the low single digits — around 2% — underscoring continued strain on airport screening operations.
Baltimore/Washington International Airport reported a 38.5% call-out rate, while Houston’s George Bush Intercontinental had a 36.4% rate and the city’s William P. Hobby Airport had a 34.1% absence rate. New Orleans and Atlanta each topped 33%, while major Northeast hubs including JFK, LaGuardia and Philadelphia airports all reported rates near or above 20%.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents were sent to assist TSA at BWI Airport and other airports over the weekend, and White House border czar Tom Homan told CBS News Face the Nation with Margaret Brennan that officers would be in place until the airports “feel like they’re 100%.” On Monday, all of BWI’s checkpoints were open.
“Now that I received the deposit, the cars are all gassed up and I’m ready to go to. I’ll be, I’ll be at my checkpoint tomorrow,” TSA officer and union official Pasqual Contreras told CBS News Monday. Last week, he ran out of gas money to make the two-hour round trip daily commute to Phoenix Sky Harbor Airport.
“It pays the rent. it pays March, but as we can all see, we’re in April already. So it doesn’t go far,” Contreras said. “It’s enough to — maybe not continue staying in the red — but not by much.”
CBS News obtained a notice sent to TSA workers indicating that they have received pay for 160 hours, covering the period from Feb. 22 to March 21. They’re still missing pay for Feb. 14-21, and it’s also not yet clear whether they’ve been paid for overtime hours worked during the shutdown. After last fall’s government shutdown, it took several pay periods to sort out missed pay issues.
DHS officials said some paychecks began to be deposited in workers’ accounts as early as Monday, with other workers expected to receive payments Tuesday. The department’s goal is to have most workers paid by close of business Tuesday, with an outside deadline of Wednesday, April 1, when a number of bills tend to be due.
The staggered timing reflects banking practices, rather than differences in payroll. DHS transmitted payments on the same schedule, but some financial institutions release funds as soon as they receive notice of an incoming deposit, while others wait until the official settlement date.
The payments follow weeks of disruption during the partial DHS shutdown, which left roughly 50,000 TSA officers working without pay and contributed to widespread airport delays, high absenteeism and staffing shortages. The financial strain forced more than 510 TSA officers to quit.
The president’s executive order only covers pay for TSA workers. ICE agents have continued to be paid because Congress provided funding for them in last year’s One Big Beautiful Bill Act, but tens of thousands of DHS workers are continuing to work without pay, among them, Coast Guard, FEMA and Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency employees.
CBS News has asked DHS for additional details on which appropriations or funding mechanisms are being used to cover the payments, as well as how long they can keep this up.
