WASHINGTON 鈥� The House passed a bill Friday that will ensure federal workers impacted by the partial government shutdown will receive back pay once federal offices reopen.
The bill ensures back pay for both employees who have been furloughed during the shutdown and those employees required to keep working.
The bill passed unanimously in the Senate Thursday night and the White House has said President Trump will sign it.
The House also passed a bill to reopen the Interior Department, National Park Service and Smithsonian Museums.
Friday marks the first missed paycheck for about 800,000 federal employees during the three-week government shutdown.
