Bill overview
The Federal Retirement Safety Act amends federal law to protect employees and members from domestic violence when receiving lump-sum retirement benefits. Specifically, it allows the Office of Personnel Management to waive the requirement for spousal notification and consent if doing so would pose a risk to the employee’s or member’s safety, provided they self-certify that a domestic violence crime occurred. The bill also outlines procedures for obtaining consent in a safe manner and applies these changes to both the Federal and Civil Service retirement systems.
