Summary
The WATCH Personnel Act supplies money to keep TSA employees paid when the federal budget lapses after Feb. 14, 2026. It sets a $40,000 minimum salary for officers and ties future raises to inflation, while also granting a one‑time $10,000 bonus. The measure aims to prevent staffing disruptions and maintain airport security during the appropriations gap.
