Air America Act: Recognizing Service and Benefits for Employees and Families.

The Air America Act of 2022 recognizes the service of Air America and affiliated company employees who worked for the U.S. government from 1950-1976. This act allows their period of service to be credited towards civil service retirement, enabling them or their survivors to apply for retirement and survivor benefits. This means individuals who often operated under challenging circumstances will gain access to benefits previously unavailable to them.
