Essential U.S. Government Employees Receive Paychecks During DHS Shutdown
Discover which key federal workers are still getting paid as the Department of Homeland Security faces a partial government shutdown.
Essential government employees, including Transportation Security Administration (TSA) agents and Coast Guard personnel, are continuing to receive paychecks despite the partial Department of Homeland Security (DHS) shutdown. This comes as a relief to many American travelers and citizens who rely on these critical services.
The shutdown, which began on December 22, 2018, is the result of a budget impasse between Congress and the White House over funding for President Trump's border wall. While the partial government shutdown has impacted several federal agencies, key DHS divisions responsible for national security and public safety have remained operational.
