End Congressional Pensions: New Benefit Rules
This bill aims to stop traditional pension payments for members of the U.S. Congress. These changes will not affect their past benefit rights or their ability to participate in the Thrift Savings Plan. Citizens might see this as a move to reduce political privileges.
Key points
New members of Congress will no longer receive traditional government pensions.
Current members of Congress can opt out of future pension benefits but retain rights earned before the law takes effect.
The ability to participate in the Thrift Savings Plan remains unchanged for all members of Congress.
