What it does
The Federal Firefighters Families First Act would amend federal law to improve pay equality and retirement benefits for federal firefighters by adjusting how their pay and overtime hours are calculated in retirement benefit computations. It would require the Office of Personnel Management to establish a maximum regular workweek for federal firefighters, not exceeding an average of 60 hours per week, within one year of enactment. The changes would apply to annuity entitlements based on separations from service occurring more than 60 days after the bill’s enactment, aiming to enhance recruitment and retention in the federal fire service.
