What this bill would do

This bill, titled the Federal Retirement Fairness Act, seeks to amend title 5 of the United States Code. It aims to allow civilian service performed in a temporary position after December 31, 1988, to be counted as creditable service under the Federal Employees Retirement System. The amendment applies to employees, including temporary workers for the United States Postal Service, and Members of Congress. The Director of the Office of Personnel Management is tasked with notifying relevant agency officials and creating necessary regulations to implement these changes.
