Dismantling Double Dippers Act of 2025
S 2953, the Dismantling Double Dippers Act of 2025, prohibits federal employees from simultaneously holding multiple civil service positions, entering government contracts, or receiving compensation from multiple government sources. It requires violators to repay all improperly received funds with interest and mandates referrals to the Department of Justice for potential criminal prosecution. The bill also requires annual audits by the Office of Personnel Management’s Inspector General, cross-referencing payroll, time records, and IRS data to identify violations and report findings to Congress. These audits must quantify violations, recovered funds, and enforcement actions taken. The law directly affects current and former federal civil service employees who may hold overlapping positions or contracts.
