Summary

Highlight any text to annotate
This bill restricts executive compensation and benefits at the U.S. Postal Service. It prohibits senior USPS executives, including the Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General, from receiving certain fringe benefits such as wellness reimbursements, parking allowances, financial planning services, trusted traveler program fees, airline club memberships, and relocation expenses. The bill also caps total compensation for any USPS officer or executive at the level paid to the President of the United States and bans the Postmaster General from receiving bonuses in years when the Postal Service spends more money than it takes in. Additionally, the legislation prevents the Postal Service from circumventing these restrictions by providing increased base pay or other forms of compensation as substitutes for prohibited benefits. The bill applies to covered executives who receive prohibited benefits after the law takes effect, requiring them to reimburse the Postal Service for the value of those benefits. Rank-and-file employee benefits and union-negotiated benefits remain unaffected.
