Congresswoman Deborah Ross joins 167 lawmakers demanding back pay for furloughed federal workers, citing legal violations by the administration.

Quiver AI Summary

Congresswoman Deborah Ross (NC-02) has joined 167 lawmakers in a bipartisan effort urging the Office of Management and Budget (OMB) to adhere to legal obligations regarding back pay for furloughed federal workers. The group raised concerns about recent changes to OMB's guidance that imply these workers may not be entitled to such payments.

The lawmakers emphasized that, according to existing law, all affected government employees are entitled to back pay following government shutdowns. They called for OMB to clearly affirm this entitlement in its documentation, underscoring that failure to do so adds undue stress to the federal workforce.

A link to the full letter sent to OMB Director Russell Vought is provided for further details. The original law ensuring back pay was enacted in 2019, which eliminated the need for separate legislation for each shutdown.
