The bill also requires the consent of an employee to be reclassified, mandates reporting of conversions to the Office of Personnel Management, and places caps on the number of employees converted to the excepted service via Schedule C. Support amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act to incorporate this bill language. Support proposed rule (including through formal comment submission) by the Office of Personnel Management titled "Upholding Civil Service Protections and Merit System Principles."

Urge OPM to reconsider how it implements its Do Not Pay (DNP) initiative by shifting the burden to federal annuitants to prove they are still alive. Oppose H.R. 3115/S.1496, the Public Service Reform Act, which would make all federal employees at-will and enable workers to be removed for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all. The legislation would also abolish the Merit Systems Protection Board and limit removal appeals claims of whistleblower retaliation and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaints before the US Court of Appeals. Support H.R. 1301/S.640, the Federal Employees Civil Relief Act, which would protect federal workers and contractors from a variety of civil financial penalties during a lapse in appropriations or a breach of the debt ceiling. Support providing premium relied (via a tax credit, tax deduction, or otherwise) to Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program enrollees to cover premium costs above the amount quoted; request hearing to examine the reasons for substantial premium increases.

Oppose policy rider language to House Financial Services and General Government appropriations bill which would prohibit TSP participants from investing in any mutual fund using environmental, social, and governance criteria as a basis for investment decisions. Support extension of government funding to avoid a lapse in appropriations and consequent government shutdown. Oppose amendment to House Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill to defund implementation of proposed rule.

Lobbying Issues

Support inclusion of language in administration budget proposal for fiscal year 2024 to protect federal retirement and health benefits, honor commitments to current and retired civil servants. Support adequate funding for the Office of Personnel Management's Retirement Services division, and modernization of operations. Support a 5.2 percent average, market rate federal pay increase for federal employees, at parity with the military pay raise, for calendar year 2024. Support the Equal COLA Act, H.R. 866, to provide Federal Employees Retirement System annuitants a full cost-of-living adjustment, equal to the measured change in consumer prices. Support H.R. 1002/S. 399: Saving the Civil Service Act, which would prevent any position in the federal competitive service, created after September 30, 2020, from being reclassified into the excepted service, outside the protection of merit system rules without the express consent of Congress. The bill also requires the consent of an employee to be reclassified, mandates reporting of conversions to the Office of Personnel Management, and places caps on the number of employees converted to the excepted service via Schedule C. Support amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act to incorporate this bill language. Support proposed rule (including through formal comment submission) by the Office of Personnel Management titled "Upholding Civil Service Protections and Merit System Principles." Oppose amendment to House Financial Services and General Government Appropriations bill to defund implementation of proposed rule. Support H.R.159/S.59: Chance to Compete Act of 2023, which would implement merit-based reforms to the civil service hiring system that replace degree-based hiring with skills- and competency based hiring. Support H.R. 1487: The Strengthening the Office of Personnel Management Act, which would codify several recommendations for OPM by the National Academy of Public Administration (NAPA), such as clarifying that OPM stands at the center of federal civilian human resource management and ensuring the director of OPM possesses human capital and leadership expertise. Support H.R. 536/ S. 124: The Federal Adjustment of Income Rates(FAIR) Act, which would provide federal employees with an 8.7 percent average pay raise in 2024. Support H.R. 856/ S. 274: Comprehensive Paid Leave for Federal Employees Act, which would extend paid leave to federal and postal employees for all conditions covered by the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). Urge OPM to reconsider how it implements its Do Not Pay (DNP) initiative by shifting the burden to federal annuitants to prove they are still alive. Oppose H.R. 3115/S.1496, the Public Service Reform Act, which would make all federal employees at-will and enable workers to be removed for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all. The legislation would also abolish the Merit Systems Protection Board and limit removal appeals claims of whistleblower retaliation and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaints before the US Court of Appeals. Support H.R. 1301/S.640, the Federal Employees Civil Relief Act, which would protect federal workers and contractors from a variety of civil financial penalties during a lapse in appropriations or a breach of the debt ceiling. Support providing premium relied (via a tax credit, tax deduction, or otherwise) to Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program enrollees to cover premium costs above the amount quoted; request hearing to examine the reasons for substantial premium increases. Oppose amendment to the National Defense Authorization Act that would prohibit Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) investments in countries or securities of concern, as it would threaten to force the TSP to shutter the I Fund due to its limited investments in Hong Kong, which is now considered part of China. Provide comment on interim final rule re: the Postal Service Health Benefits Program, urging limitation on changes to coverage for federal and postal employees and retirees. Support H.R. 5883 / S. 3029:Honoring Civil Servants Killed in the Line of Duty Act of 2023, to improve death benefits for federal employees killed in the line of duty.

Oppose H.R. 3115/S.1496, the Public Service Reform Act, which would make all federal employees at-will and enable workers to be removed for good cause, bad cause, or no cause at all. The legislation would also abolish the Merit Systems Protection Board and limit removal appeals claims of whistleblower retaliation and Equal Employment Opportunity Commission complaints before the US Court of Appeals. Support H.R. 1301/S.640, the Federal Employees Civil Relief Act, which would protect federal workers and contractors from a variety of civil financial penalties during a lapse in appropriations or a breach of the debt ceiling. Support providing premium relied (via a tax credit, tax deduction, or otherwise) to Federal Long Term Care Insurance Program enrollees to cover premium costs above the amount quoted.

Lobbying Issues

Support H.R. 304, The Federal Adjustment of Income Rates (FAIR) Act, which provides for a 3.8 percent pay raise for federal employees. Support S. 164, The Federal Adjustment of Income Rates (FAIR) Act, which provides for a 3.8 percent pay raise for federal employees. Support H.R. 485, the Wage Grade Employee Parity Act, which provides the President with the authority to provide a pay raise for wage grade (or hourly) employees, whose raises must be authorized by Congress currently. The President currently has the authority with regard to pay raises for federal employees on the General Schedule. Support H.R. 785, the Federal Employee Pension Fairness Act, which would repeal laws passed in 2012 and 2013 that increased the Federal Employees Retirement System contributions for newly-hired federal employees. Support H.R. 313, the Wounded Warriors Federal Leave Act which entitles any federal employee who is a veteran with a service-connected disability rated at 30 percent or more, during the 12-month period beginning on the first day of employment, up to 104 hours of leave, without loss or reduction in pay, for purposes of undergoing medical treatment for the disability for which sick leave could regularly be used. Support S. 164, the Wounded Warriors Federal Leave Act which entitles any federal employee who is a veteran with a service-connected disability rated at 30 percent or more, during the 12-month period beginning on the first day of employment, up to 104 hours of leave, without loss or reduction in pay, for purposes of undergoing medical treatment for the disability for which sick leave could regularly be used. H.R. 138, the Access to Insurance for All Americans Act, which repeals the Affordable Care Act and establishes a national health program administered by the Office of Personnel Management to offer Federal Employees Health Benefits Program plans to individuals who are not federal employees or retirees. It creates separate risk pools for federal and non-federal participants. Support H.R. 532, the Federal Employees Paid Parental Leave Act of 2015, providing paid parental leave for federal employees. Support S. 2033, the Federal Employees Paid Parental Leave Act of 2015, providing paid parental leave for federal employees. Support H.R. 20, the Government By the People Act, which reforms campaign finance laws to put small donors to political campaigns on par with wealthier donors. It provides tax credits for campaign contributions and government matching contributions. Support H.R. 2175, the FEHBP Prescription Drug Oversight Act, which provides the Office of Personnel Management greater oversight authority over the prescription drug contracting and pricing methods of the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program. Support H.R. 2827, the Competitive Service Act, and S. 1580, the Competitive Service Act, which both would allow federal agencies to review and select job candidates from other federal agencies' "best qualified list" of applicants. Support H.R. 3029, the RECOVER Act, which requires the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to provide each individual whose personally identifiable information was compromised during data breaches of personnel records of federal employees in a network maintained by the Department of the Interior or in OPM systems containing federal employee background investigations with comprehensive identity protection coverage that is effective for the life of the individual and that includes not less than $5 million in identity theft insurance. Support S. 1746, the RECOVER Act, which requires the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to provide each individual whose personally identifiable information was compromised during data breaches of personnel records of federal employees in a network maintained by the Department of the Interior or in OPM systems containing federal employee background investigations with comprehensive identity protection coverage that is effective for the life of the individual and that includes not less than $5 million in identity theft insurance. Support S. 2035, the Federal Employee Fair Treatment Act, which would require federal employees furloughed or required to work due to a lapse in appropriations beginning on or after October 1, 2015, to be compensated after the lapse in appropriations ends. Employees required to work during the lapse in appropriations are permitted to use leave. The bill addresses a lapse in appropriations scheduled to occur if FY2016 appropriations legislation is not enacted prior to the beginning of the fiscal year on October 1, 2015. Oppose including a provision to reduce the rate of return on the Thrift Savings Plan G Fund in unrelated legislation, notably surface transportation spending authorization legislation. Support an extension to 10 years of identity restoration services and theft insurance provided to federal employees, retirees, spouses, and applicants effected by OPM security breaches. Support inclusion in appropriations bill. Support H.R. 3850, the Annuity Safety and Security Under Reasonable Enforcement (ASSURE) Act, which requires appropriate disclosures regarding "pension advance" schemes and caps the interest rates on these advances. Also creates a private right of action to allow individuals to enforce these laws in court. Support H.R. 1314, the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2015, for its provisions to offset sequestration caps for annual discretionary spending / government funding, without including mandatory spending cuts affecting federal employees and retirees. Also support Medicare Part B premium provision (detailed in that issue area description).
