Government shutdown delays leave TSA workers with permanent financial damage

TSA workers experienced bouncing rent checks and strained child care arrangements after going more than six weeks without pay.

The resulting financial juggling led to overdraft fees, late penalties, and credit damage. Many workers remained unable to catch up on bills even after receiving back pay.
