Federal Employee Short-Term Disability Insurance Act of 2026

Summary

The bill would let federal employees voluntarily buy short‑term disability insurance for injuries that aren’t work‑related, as well as for time off to care for family, welcome a new child, or adopt or foster a child. It applies to all civil service workers, including Postal Service staff, and would be administered by the Office of Personnel Management. The goal is to give workers a safety net for short‑term income loss that isn’t covered by existing workers‑comp or retirement benefits.
