Federal Employee Records Relief Act

This bill lets people who left civilian federal jobs on or after January 20, 2025, ask the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) for their personnel records and for fixes to missing or wrong records. On request, OPM and the person's last agency would provide copies of records such as SF-50 separation forms, issue missing or corrected personnel actions, and give written information about benefits status, coverage end dates, and continuation options. Federal agencies would have to search for and send OPM the records it needs. The bill does not require agencies to change how a person's separation was classified unless a binding legal decision requires it, and requests must be made within 4 years after the law takes effect.
