H.R. 10718

Federal Employee Records Relief Act

📅 Oct 01, 2026
Summary:
• Establishes a temporary 4-year process allowing former federal civilian employees who separated on or after January 20, 2025, to request personnel records, administrative corrections to personnel/benefits documentation, and benefits coordination support from the Office of Personnel Management (OPM)
• Assistance is limited to administrative corrections only — the bill explicitly does not require any federal entity to change the characterization of a separation (e.g., resignation, retirement, or removal) without a final legal order or settlement
• Requests must be submitted within 4 years of the bill's enactment; requests submitted after that period will not be accepted or processed
