For Proposed Changes To Federal Retirement Benefits » . In a closely contested 217-215 vote on February 25, the House of Representatives approved a Republican-backed budget resolution, H.Con.Res.14. This measure lays the groundwork for budget reconciliation, enabling $4.5 trillion in tax cuts, increased border security and immigration enforcement funding, and $2 trillion in spending cuts, including a $50 billion reduction that impacts federal retirement and health benefits.

NARFE (National Active and Retired Federal Employees Association) opposed the resolution, highlighting concerns over its requirement for the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform to reduce at least $50 billion in mandatory spending. Since federal retirement and health benefits form the largest portion of mandatory expenditures under the committee’s oversight, federal employees and retirees would be disproportionately affected.
