Support Military Families Act

Telework protection for military spouses

If enacted, this bill would let certain federal employees keep teleworking instead of returning to full-time in-person work. You would be covered only if you are an executive-branch employee and the spouse of a member of the armed forces. The rule would apply only if you were eligible to telework or remote work before January 20, 2025. It would override any law, rule, or regulation that requires a return to the office. The Comptroller General would have 180 days after enactment to report to the House Oversight Committee and the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee and publish the report. The report would list the total number of affected employees, their average commute distance in miles, and estimated economic costs of forcing in-person work.
