Congressional Pension Accountability Act
Refreshed 3 h ago
Introduced 2026-09-03Topic: governance ethics · laborSummary
AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would make a member of Congress lose credit for their congressional service toward a federal retirement pension (under CSRS or FERS) if they are expelled from Congress. The same would apply if they resign after a House or Senate ethics investigative subcommittee votes to adopt a Statement of Alleged Violation against them. The person could apply to get back their own contributions tied to that service, but government contributions to their Thrift Savings Plan account, and earnings on them, would be forfeited. A presidential pardon or commutation would not restore the pension. The rules would apply only to conduct that occurs after the bill becomes law.
