The Department of Homeland Security says TSA workers should begin seeing their paychecks as early as March 30.
This comes after President Donald Trump on Friday signed a promised executive action to pay TSA employees after a bid to end the shutdown of the Department of Homeland Security abruptly fell apart in Congress.
As News 12 previously reported, tri-state airports contended with a shortage of TSA agents, leading delayed and canceled flights, as well as long wait times.
