H. Con. Res. 125 (T. Price, GA-16) would also have capped the government’s share of FEHBP premiums at the rate of inflation rather than the current amounts that reflect the actual cost of premium increases FEHBP premium increase for an employee enrolled in BCBS Standard Family Plan = $3,800
H.R. 1230 (B. Westerman, AR-4) would calculate retirement benefits based on the average of the highest five years of an employee’s salary versus the current highest three Pension benefit loss for a GS-9 FERS covered employee = $485
H.R. 22 (R. Davis, IL-13) passed by Congress in 2015 considered lowering the TSP’s G Fund’s rate of return as a way to help fund the measure Average FERS employee’s TSP account loss = $2,800
Total Annual Pay and Retirement Losses Stopped by NTEU = $9,585
