Railroad Employee Equity and Fairness Act or the REEF Act
This bill permanently exempts payments made from the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Account from sequestration. Sequestration is a process of automatic, usually across-the-board spending reductions under which budgetary resources are permanently cancelled to enforce specific budget policy goals.
Currently, this exemption ends 30 days after the termination of the COVID-19 national emergency period.
