CLEAN Public Service Act

What this bill does

  • This bill stops Members of Congress from earning new retirement benefits under federal retirement systems after the law takes effect.
  • Current and future members of Congress are affected, though existing retirement credits remain unchanged.
  • The change saves money by eliminating government contributions to congressional retirement accounts going forward.
