Federal employees and U.S. Postal Service workers who held temporary government positions after 1988 could be affected. The Office of Personnel Management would be required to notify agencies and workers about eligibility and create new rules.
Workers who served in temporary roles after 1988 currently receive no retirement credit for that time. This bill would change that, as long as the employee makes the required deposit.
