This legislation aims to support military families by permitting federal employees who are spouses of armed forces members to continue engaging in telework or remote work . It explicitly exempts these employees from any requirement to return to full-time in-person work, recognizing the unique challenges faced by military families. The bill's provisions apply specifically to spouses who were already eligible for telework or remote work prior to January 20, 2025 . Furthermore, it mandates the Comptroller General of the United States to submit a report within 180 days, detailing the number of affected employees, their potential commute distances, and the estimated economic impact of requiring them to perform in-person work, including costs associated with vacancies and lost productivity.
