2012 Legislative Agenda : USPS, Elections Force Hands

"This means the real changes will come in 2013. Between then and now, Congress will likely pass the bare minimum to keep the Postal Service afloat. Actions that will probably be taken include extension of the RHBF (Retiree Health Benefit Fund) pre-payments, refunding the FERS (Federal Employee Retirement System) overpayment and/or raising the USPS debt limit."
