Will the new TWIC NexGen card meet ID requirements to board a plane? Will TSA accept my expired TWIC card to board a plane if I have not received my new NexGen card?

Yes. The new card meets TSA security standards for valid identification, and a valid unexpired TWIC can be used to board planes. TSA officers are trained to recognize the TWIC as an acceptable form of identification.
