H.R. 22 The United States Postal Service Financial Relief Act of 2009

The United States Postal Service Financial Relief Act (H.R. 22), would permit the United States Postal Service to pay health care premiums for its current retirees from the Postal Service Retiree Health Benefits Fund (RHBF) in fiscal years 2009, 2010, and 2011. The legislation, sponsored by Rep. John McHugh (NY-23), would provide the temporary financial relief to the Postal Service, saving over $2 Billion in operating funds each fiscal year between 2009 and 2011.
