Recent legislative developments have seen the House pass a reconciliation bill that includes significant changes to federal employee retirement benefits. After backlash from the public and various stakeholders, Republicans revised their proposed cuts, which initially threatened to slash retirement benefits by up to 40%. Although some cuts were saved in the new tax bill, protections for federal workers have been restored, with key provisions pushed back to 2028. The fate of the overall package remains uncertain as further proposals and analyses continue to emerge, focusing on the impact these changes might have on federal employees and their retirement planning.
