The Transportation Security Administration announced that its officers, who have been working without pay during a partial government shutdown, are expected to begin receiving paychecks as early as Monday.

The move comes amid ongoing congressional negotiations over funding for the Department of Homeland Security and related agencies.

Donald Trump said the executive branch would take action to ensure TSA workers are paid despite the funding impasse.

The Department of Homeland Security stated that payments have already begun processing following the directive, CNBC has reported.

The situation has coincided with longer airport security lines as staffing and morale have been affected by the shutdown.
