Overview

  • Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem personally handed out checks at Boston Logan over the weekend to TSA officers who kept working through the 43-day shutdown.
  • Officials said more than 270 Logan officers had perfect attendance during the shutdown, and nearly 300 there will receive the $10,000 bonus.
  • DHS says select TSA officers nationwide will receive the payment, with eligibility criteria and the final recipient count still under review.
  • The department says the bonuses draw on carryover funds from the last fiscal year, and Boston TSA staff are expected to receive a full paycheck by Nov. 19.
  • The FAA lifted temporary flight reductions Monday, citing stabilized staffing since the shutdown ended.
