No Bonuses for Bad Service Act
A bill to amend title 39, United States Code, to prevent the awarding of bonuses to the Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General for a fiscal year in which the United States Postal Service does not meet or exceed each on-time mail delivery target, and for other purposes.
This bill, known as the "No Bonuses for Bad Service Act," aims to change how bonuses are awarded to the Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General. Specifically, it proposes that these officials should not receive bonuses if the United States Postal Service fails to meet or exceed its on-time mail delivery targets for a fiscal year. This measure seeks to ensure that performance-based incentives are tied directly to the quality of service provided by the Postal Service.
The bill would affect the top officials of the United States Postal Service, including the Postmaster General and Deputy Postmaster General. By linking bonus eligibility to delivery performance, it incentivizes better service and accountability within the Postal Service. It does not directly impact the general public but could lead to improved mail delivery times if passed.
As of July 29, 2026, the bill was introduced and referred to the Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs. On August 6, 2026, the committee reported the bill with a favorable amendment. The bill is currently in the process of being reviewed and could move forward for further legislative action.
