The House Office of the Law Revision Counsel page says the text contains laws in effect on September 1, 2026. It still provides that a voluntary incentive payment shall be the lesser of the severance-pay amount under section 5595(c) or an amount determined by the agency head, not to exceed $25,000.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): As of the latest official U.S. Code text found in the lookback search, the general VSIP cap remains $25,000, so the promised increase has not been enacted.

GovInfo lists H.R. 7256 as introduced in the 119th Congress, 2nd Session, with the action: Mr. Langworthy introduced the bill and it was referred to the Committee on Oversight and Government Reform. The full title is: To amend section 3523 of title 5, United States Code, to increase the limit on voluntary separation incentive payments, and for other purposes.

Unverified model/legacy excerpt; not proof. AI summary (separate from source): Langworthy took concrete legislative action by introducing a bill directly matching the commitment, but introduction and referral did not itself change the payment limit.

The promised outcome was to increase the federal voluntary separation incentive payment limit. As of the latest official U.S. Code text in effect September 1, 2026, 5 U.S.C. 3523 still caps the general payment at $25,000, so the increase has not been enacted. Langworthy did sponsor H.R. 7256 in the 119th Congress to make this exact change, and it advanced through committee, which is a serious same-term legislative effort, but it did not deliver the legal change.
