UPDATE 5/22/25:
Early this morning, the reconciliation bill passed the House by a vote of 215-214, after the Rules Committee spent over 21 hours marking up the bill. The increase of the FERS pension contributions to 4.4% for employees hired before 2014 and the change from High-3 to High-5 were both stripped from the final bill. The elimination of the FERS annuity supplement remains.
The reconciliation bill now heads to the Senate where more changes to the bill are expected. The NRLCA will continue to strongly oppose any cuts to federal and postal employee benefits and will keep you informed as the bill moves forward in the legislative process.
Thank you to all our members who called and wrote their members of Congress.
