Federal Employees Civil Relief Act

This bill provides temporary civil protections for federal workers during government shutdowns. It allows workers who are furloughed or working without pay to seek court-ordered stays on rent, mortgage payments, student loans, taxes, and insurance premiums during the shutdown and for 30 days afterward. Key provisions include halting evictions, foreclosures, and student loan collections without court approval, while preventing penalties or negative credit reporting during the covered period. These protections apply to all federal employees and contractor staff, excluding criminal matters and child support.
