I am also attaching a message from NARFE about Federal Retiree benefits.

Debt Deal Spares Fed Pay, Benefits – for Now:  Thanks in part to the efforts of NARFE members, the debt limit compromise (Public Law 112-25) passed by Congress and signed into law by the President does not make any reductions in the retirement, pay or health benefits of federal employees and annuitants.  Spending caps in the law, however, could affect active federal employee job security because agency budgets may be impacted.  But the overall threat has NOT disappeared: Federal civilian retirement and health benefits continue to be vulnerable because the new law creates a bipartisan “Super Committee” of Congress with a mandate to cut spending by an additional $1.5 trillion before the end of this year. 

NARFE President Joe Beaudoin said: “Federal employees and annuitants have been given a reprieve in the debt-limit deal.  This, in large part, is due to the success of NARFE’s advocacy and communications campaign, ‘Protect America’s Heartbeat.’ “NARFE members made some 25,000 phone calls and sent over 215,000 e-mail messages to their legislators.  These contacts, along with the face-to-face meetings they conducted with lawmakers and letters to the editor they submitted to their local newspapers, were key to this victory.”
