Compassion for Vulnerable and Struggling Workers Act

This bill (HR 1597) allows certain fired federal employees to continue or enroll in the Federal Employees Health Benefits Program (FEHBP). It directly affects civil service workers involuntarily removed between January 20, 2025, and January 1, 2026, who were removed without cause, had a "fully successful" performance rating, were pregnant at termination, or were diagnosed with cancer within five years prior. The bill requires health coverage contributions to be funded using savings from the newly created "United States DOGE Service" (established by a January 20, 2025, executive order). This provides a specific pathway for eligible former employees to maintain health insurance during a transition period, using redirected federal savings.
