Senator Shaheen introduces bills to aid federal employees and contractors facing financial hardship due to government shutdowns.
Quiver AI Summary
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH) has joined her Democratic colleagues in introducing three bills aimed at assisting federal employees facing financial difficulties during the current government shutdown. The proposed legislation includes the Emergency Relief for Federal Workers Act, the Emergency Relief for Federal Contractors Act, and the Fair Pay for Federal Contractors Act.
Senator Shaheen emphasized, “During a government shutdown, the majority of federal employees and many workers at federal contractors are forced to work without pay. This can be a huge and unexpected financial burden.” The bills aim to provide necessary financial support, allowing withdrawals from retirement accounts without penalties and ensuring workers receive backpay.
The Emergency Relief for Federal Workers Act would permit penalty-free withdrawals from the Thrift Savings Plan for affected federal employees. The other two acts will extend similar financial relief to federal contractors, who typically do not receive automatic backpay during shutdowns and face unique challenges.
