Expanding Retirement Benefits for All Workers

The Federal Retirement Fairness Act has been reintroduced in the House by a bipartisan group of representatives. The legislation aims to allow certain federal employees, including letter carriers, who were employed as non-career employees after 1988 to make catch-up retirement contributions, making it creditable service under the Federal Employees Retirement System. The bill seeks to provide greater retirement security for these employees and is supported by the National Association of Letter Carriers (NALC).
