Protect pension payments for NOAA Corps and U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps retirees during government shutdowns by advancing legislation to ensure they keep receiving retirement benefits.

Our bipartisan legislation will mean these patriots will get the pensions they earned so they don’t go hungry or struggle to pay their rent or mortgage during a government shutdown.

Raskin says the bipartisan bill will secure pension payments for NOAA Corps and USPHS Commissioned Corps retirees during shutdowns.

Representative Jamie Raskin said that on May 12, 2026, he, Don Bacon, and Maxine Dexter "introduced bipartisan legislation" to safeguard pensions for retired NOAA Corps and U.S. Public Health Service Commissioned Corps members during a government shutdown, stating the bill would ensure they "continue receiving pension payments during a government shutdown."

Raskin took concrete legislative action in the lookback window by introducing the Pensions for Retired Uniformed Servicemembers Act, which directly targets the shutdown-pension problem, but the release shows only introduction rather than enactment or implementation.
