Act Now: Support the Federal Retirement Fairness Act (FRFA) for Equal Retirement Benefits 

Representatives Derek Kilmer (D-WA), Gerry Connolly (D-VA), Don Bacon (R-NE), and David Valadao (R-CA) reintroduced the Federal Retirement Fairness Act (FRFA), H.R. 5995, on Thursday, October 19, to allow federal employees who started their careers as temporary workers, but transitioned to permanent work, to buy credit towards retirement for their temporary work. Specifically, the FRFA enables these workers to make catch-up contributions, ensuring they can retire as planned. 
 
Many federal employees begin as temps before becoming permanent. Without this provision, they face the unfair choice of retiring without full benefits or delaying retirement. H.R. 5995 would rectify this inequity. 
 
Please take action now, and urge your lawmaker to cosponsor the Federal Retirement Fairness Act by personalizing the letter below. Let's ensure all federal employees, regardless of initial hiring status, have equal retirement opportunities!
