Former federal workers could request help fixing employment records

The Office of Personnel Management would provide requested records and work with the person’s last agency to correct covered errors within each office’s authority. This would cover former federal civilian employees whose jobs ended for any reason on or after January 20, 2025, including retirees. Covered errors must concern their separation, job, pay, leave, or federal benefits. The process would be limited to fixing and supplying records. It would not require an agency to change how the job ended without a binding legal decision or settlement. Requests would have to be submitted during the four-year period beginning on enactment.

The Office of Personnel Management would provide written information and coordination help about federal employee benefits. The help would cover enrollment status, when coverage ends, and available ways to keep coverage, including temporary continued coverage. The help would be limited to benefits coordination information. Requests would have to be submitted during the four-year period beginning on enactment.
