What is the official ID of this bill?
The official print number for this legislation is S 3530.
Job Protection for Federal Employees Married to Military or Foreign Service Spouses.
This law protects federal employees whose spouses (military members or Foreign Service officers) are involuntarily relocated due to service. Agencies must offer options like full-time remote work, transfer to the new location, or extended leave without pay to prevent job loss caused by the move. This aims to support the financial stability and career continuity of military and diplomatic families.
Key points
A federal employee whose spouse is subject to a permanent change of station can request job retention options from their agency.
The agency must respond within 30 days by offering full remote work, transfer to an equal grade position in the new commuting area, or transfer to an equal grade remote position.
If transfer or remote work is not possible, the employee is entitled to extended nonpay/nonduty status (minimum 36 months), and the position may be filled by a permanent replacement.
