Federal Employees Must Pass Citizenship Test to Keep or Gain Jobs.

This bill mandates that all current and prospective Federal civilian career employees must pass the standard U.S. citizenship test as a condition of employment. New hires must pass the full test with a 90% score, while current employees face annual testing. Failure to pass the full re-test can lead to disciplinary action, including job termination.
Key points
Federal career employees must pass the U.S. naturalization test to be hired or to continue their employment.
Current employees must take an annual civics test; failing the full re-test can result in disciplinary action, up to and including removal.
The Office of Personnel Management (OPM) is responsible for administering the test and providing study materials.
