What it does
The bill lets federal agencies pay workers one flat amount for moving. Workers no longer get back each moving cost they paid. The General Services Administration will write rules for this flat payment. Workers can challenge their agency's decision. Agencies must report in 3 years on flat payments and savings.
Who it affects
Federal employees who move for work are affected. They get paid faster with one check. The flat payment might not cover all real moving costs.
One thing to notice
Workers in expensive cities might get less than they spend. Workers in cheap cities might get more than they need. The government will only report total numbers, not details about each worker.
