HR 6798 United States House · 118th Congress

Internet at Hardship Posts Act

This bill requires the State Department to fund internet services in U.S. government-owned or leased residences abroad for personnel stationed at posts with a hardship differential of 30% or more above basic pay. It amends the State Department Basic Authorities Act to add a new funding provision (subsection n) specifically for these high-hardship locations. The change directly affects State Department employees at designated overseas posts where hardship pay exceeds 30% of base salary, ensuring internet access in their official residences.
