Pony Up Act

The Pony Up Act requires the United States Postal Service (USPS) to reimburse individuals who were charged late fees or penalties due to delayed delivery of their bills or payment notices. If USPS delivers a bill notice less than 6 days before the payment due date (or payment after the due date), it must pay the exact amount of fees incurred. Individuals can apply for reimbursement via USPS website, mail, or in-person, with appeals available to a Judicial Officer within 30 days. The bill also mandates annual USPS reports on mail delivery delays by mail class and an audit to assess if certain mail types receive priority treatment.
