HR 5758 United States House · 118th Congress

To amend title 31, United States Code, to reimburse employees of the Federal Government and the District of Columbia, Federal contractors, and the States for certain costs incurred as a result of a Government shutdown, and for other purposes.

HR 5758 would reimburse federal employees, District of Columbia workers, and federal contractors for out-of-pocket costs (like loan payments or credit card fees) incurred during government shutdowns. It requires the Treasury to pay these costs as soon as possible after a shutdown ends, with applicants submitting documentation within one year. States that cover federal programs during shutdowns lasting 14 days or more would also receive reimbursement for those expenses. The bill establishes a Reserve Fund in the Treasury to cover future reimbursement costs.
