Reimbursement for Late Fees Due to Postal Delays
The "Pony Up Act" aims to protect citizens from additional costs incurred due to mail delivery delays by the U.S. Postal Service (USPS). If a bill, notice, or payment is delivered late, resulting in late payment fees for the citizen, the USPS will be required to reimburse these fees. Citizens will be able to apply for these reimbursements, potentially saving them from unnecessary expenses and stress.
Key points
USPS must reimburse late payment fees if mail delivery delays were its fault.
Citizens can apply for reimbursement online, by mail, or at any post office.
The act mandates annual reports from USPS on mail delivery delays and an audit of delivery priorities.
