FLRA Withdraws Federal Union Dues Revocation Proposal
Published Date: 3/5/2026
Proposed Rule
Summary
The Federal Labor Relations Authority is hitting the pause button and withdrawing its 2022 proposal to change how federal employees can stop payroll deductions for union dues. So, no new rules or policy changes are coming right now, and employees can keep revoking dues assignments the same way as before. This means no extra costs or deadlines to worry about, effective immediately as of March 5, 2026.

Federal employees keep annual revocation rule
If you are a federal employee with payroll deductions for union dues, the FLRA has withdrawn its 2022 proposal and will keep 5 CFR 2429.19 in place. You may continue to initiate revocation of a dues assignment any time after the initial one-year period following the assignment; this withdrawal is effective March 5, 2026. OPM's Standard Forms SF-1187 and SF-1188 were revised in December 2025 to reflect this rule.
