house 02/26/2025 - 119th Congress
We are introducing the Compassion for Vulnerable and Struggling Workers Act to ensure that former civil service employees, who were wrongfully terminated, have access to the Federal Employee Health Benefits Program. This legislation aims to provide vital health coverage for those who were removed without cause, have maintained strong performance, or face significant health challenges, such as pregnancy or cancer.

This is a sensible move to fix an oversight, but let's watch the budget implications.

Providing health benefits to wrongfully fired workers seems like common decency; let's hope both sides agree.

It’s only fair we support those who were innocent and caught in the crossfire of bureaucratic mistakes.
