This bill would repeal the 2006 mandate that the U.S. Postal Service (USPS) prefund future retiree health benefits. No other private business or public entity is required to prefund retiree health care decades in advance. In the case of the USPS, the prefunding mandate has resulted in a manufactured financial crisis that is being used by its adversaries to cut postal services. The prefunding mandate costs the Postal Service more than $5 billion annually and accounts for nearly 90% of its operating shortfall. This bill passed the House on Feb. 5, 2020.
