USPS Executive Benefit and Bonus Removal Act

United States119th CongressS-5373Senate
Updated: Aug 7, 2026

Summary

This legislation, titled the "USPS Executive Benefit and Bonus Removal Act," seeks to impose significant restrictions on the compensation and benefits afforded to executive officers within the U.S. Postal Service. It defines "covered executive officers" to include the Postmaster General, Deputy Postmaster General, and high-level Postal Career Executive Service positions. The bill specifically prohibits a range of fringe benefits for these executives, such as certain wellness reimbursements, personal financial advisory services, trusted traveler program fees, and luxury travel amenities like airline club memberships. It also bans first-class or business-class air travel and certain relocation expenses, requiring executives to reimburse the Postal Service for any prohibited benefits received. A "no circumvention" clause prevents substituting these banned benefits with other forms of compensation. Furthermore, the legislation establishes a compensation limit , stipulating that no Postal Service officer, executive, or employee may receive total compensation greater than that of the President. To ensure fiscal responsibility, it also restricts the Governors from approving any bonuses or additional monetary compensation for the Postmaster General during any fiscal year in which the Postal Service's expenditures exceed its revenues. These new limitations are specifically designed not to affect benefits generally available to non-executive employees or those provided to bargaining-unit employees through collective bargaining agreements.
