Eleanor Holmes Norton: “I would welcome a waiver for people who are not working in the District of Columbia on Medicaid.”

Mr. Speaker, today, I introduce the Federal Employee Short-Term Disability Insurance Act of 2026, which would make short-term disability insurance available to federal employees.

This bill would establish a commonsense process to ensure that qualified nominees are not indefinitely delayed by Senate inaction.

I have urged the administration to remove these troops immediately.

Because there is no limit on how long personal information can be exploited, Congress must protect these federal employees and contractors in perpetuity.
