Federal Jobs Ban for Employees with Seriously Delinquent Tax Debt.
This law mandates annual public reporting on federal employees and retirees who have seriously delinquent tax debt or unfiled returns. Crucially, individuals with serious tax debt (without an active payment plan) will be ineligible for appointment or continued service in federal employment, though due process and hardship exceptions are included. This aims to ensure financial accountability among government workers.
Key points
Individuals with serious, unresolved tax debt are banned from being hired or continuing employment in federal civilian and military agencies.
Federal agencies must annually report publicly on the number and aggregate balance of delinquent tax debt owed by current and retired employees, broken down by agency.
Employees who willfully fail to file taxes or willfully understate their tax liability face potential adverse personnel actions, including termination, subject to due process.
