Congress orders new ZIP Codes for eight communities.

What it does

The bill tells the U.S. Postal Service to give eight named communities new ZIP Codes. Each community now has no ZIP Code or shares one with other places. The Postal Service must do this within 270 days. New ZIP Codes will help mail get delivered faster. Each community will have its own postal address.

Who it affects

People and businesses in eight named communities will get new ZIP Codes. The communities are across six states.

One thing to notice

Mail delivery might slow down for a short time while the postal system updates its records. Businesses may need to change their mailing addresses on websites and papers.
