Dossier Legislative introduced 23-jul-2026
Bill introduced in Congress — not yet passed by either chamber, and not law.

To amend title 39, United States Code, to limit bonuses to the Postmaster General, and for other purposes.

Key claim: HR9936 would amend title 39 of the U.S. Code to limit bonuses paid to the Postmaster General.

Abstract

(HR9936 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-23): Referred to the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform.

Why this matters

USPS operates as an independent establishment, so Postmaster General compensation—including performance bonuses—has drawn scrutiny amid postal financial losses and service-quality debates. HR9936 would statutorily constrain what the USPS Board of Governors can pay the PMG in bonuses, shifting a governance decision from the Board to Congress. For workers, the bill is symbolic of executive-vs-workforce pay tension; for the employer (USPS), it narrows discretion over top-executive incentive compensation.
