Direct answer: Yes. DHS has recalled furloughed employees and moved many to paid, exempt or regular paid-status, with instructions to return on their next scheduled shift, while the shutdown and funding uncertainties continue. Several outlets reported that the recall uses available funds to pay workers for now, but further pay depends on Congress and funding actions.[1][3]
