This bill would tie the bonuses of the Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General to the U.S. Postal Service's mail delivery performance. Specifically, these executives would be prohibited from receiving any bonuses or extra compensation beyond their base salaries during fiscal years when the Postal Service fails to meet or exceed a 95 percent on-time delivery rate for each type of mail service category. The bill also requires the Postal Service to submit performance reports to the Postal Regulatory Commission. The legislation was introduced in July 2026 by Senators Hawley and Blumenthal and affects only the top two executives at the Postal Service, with no direct impact on other federal agencies or private sector employers. The bill contains no specified funding requirements or implementation timeline beyond the fiscal year performance benchmarks.
