Bill information
Summary
To amend title 5, United States Code, to provide that civilian service in a temporary position after December 31, 1988, may be creditable service under the Federal Employees Retirement System, and for other purposes.
Plain-language summary
The Federal Retirement Fairness Act would change how federal employee retirement benefits are calculated for civilian workers. Currently, temporary jobs held after 1988 do not count toward retirement credit under the Federal Employees Retirement System. This bill would allow those temporary service years to count. The bill has been introduced in the House with bipartisan support from over 130 sponsors.
