HR 6330 United States House · 119th Congress

Federal Relocation Payment Improvement Act

HR 6330, the Federal Relocation Payment Improvement Act, allows federal agencies to pay eligible employees a single lump-sum payment instead of the standard relocation reimbursements when employees move for government work. This directly affects federal employees who relocate for agency assignments, giving agencies flexibility to choose between the lump sum or existing payment methods. The bill requires the General Services Administration to create regulations detailing when agencies may use lump sums, how to calculate the amount, and the process for employees to dispute claims or appeal decisions to the Civilian Board of Contract Appeals. It does not change relocation eligibility but modifies the payment structure and dispute procedures.

The Engrossed version adds a new reporting requirement (subsection c) that mandates agencies to submit data on lump sum relocation payments, employee challenges, and cost savings to GSA within 3 years of enactment, and requires GSA to analyze that data and report to Congress within 90 days. The remaining changes are minor formatting adjustments adding blank lines for readability.

ENFORCEMENT

New subsection (c) requires each agency head to submit to GSA within 3 years of enactment: the number of employees authorized a lump sum payment, the number of employee challenges to disallowed claims, cost savings data, and recommendations for improving the Act.

The GSA Administrator must submit an analysis of agency-submitted data to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform and the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs within 90 days of receiving it.
