This Act aims to enable the payment of certain officers and employees of the House of Representatives or the Senate whose employment is authorized under deferred action (including DACA), deferred enforced departure (DED), or temporary protected status (TPS). This change ensures that these individuals, who hold current employment authorization documents, can legally receive compensation for their work within Congress, stabilizing their financial and professional standing.
Key points
Allows payment of salaries to Congressional employees (House and Senate) who hold DACA, DED, or TPS status.
Amends federal law to formally recognize and authorize the employment of these individuals within U.S. legislative structures, provided they have a current employment authorization document.
