Bill overview
This bill, the REEF Act, permanently removes payments from the Railroad Unemployment Insurance Account from being subject to automatic spending cuts (sequestration) as outlined in the Balanced Budget and Emergency Deficit Control Act. Currently, these payments are temporarily exempt until the end of the COVID-19 national emergency. The bill ensures that railroad workers receiving unemployment benefits are not impacted by these budget reductions. It achieves this by amending existing legislation related to railroad worker assistance.
