What it does
The Protect Military and Federal Employees from Unfair Bank Fees Act would prohibit financial institutions and card issuers from charging certain fees—such as overdraft fees for insufficient funds or late payment fees on credit cards—on accounts held by covered persons during periods when federal appropriations are not in effect. Covered persons include federal civil service employees, military personnel, and uniformed services members who were furloughed or required to work without pay during such lapses in funding. The bill aims to protect these individuals from unfair bank fees when they are unable to receive their regular pay due to government shutdowns or funding gaps.
