Bill Summary
A BILL To provide reimbursement to certain Federal employees for childcare expenses during the lapse in appropriations beginning on or about October 1, 2025.
AI Summary
This bill, known as the Federal Worker Childcare Protection Act of 2025, aims to provide financial relief to federal employees who are impacted by a government funding lapse (also known as a government shutdown) around October 1, 2025. Specifically, the bill would allow federal workers who are either furloughed (temporarily laid off) or working without pay during this funding gap to receive reimbursement for childcare expenses, provided they can submit a receipt from their childcare provider to the General Services Administration (GSA). The reimbursement is contingent upon the availability of appropriated funds, which means the actual payment will depend on whether Congress has allocated money for this purpose. This legislation recognizes the financial strain that government shutdowns can place on federal employees, particularly those with young children who must continue to pay for childcare services despite potential interruptions in their income.
