House Republicans’ pension changes will save nearly $51B, CBO says

The House Oversight and Government Reform Committee’s proposal to overhaul the federal government’s pension benefit system would save nearly $51 billion over the next decade, an analysis from the Congressional Budget Office found.

It would constitute major savings to help offset the cost of President Donald Trump’s “big, beautiful bill” — if Republicans keep the provision in tact.

Rep. Mike Turner (R-Ohio) broke with his party back in April to join Democrats in voting against the Oversight panel’s contribution to the GOP megabill over the proposed changes, arguing it would punish government workers.

“I believe that making changes to pension retirement benefits in the middle of someone’s employment is wrong,” Turner said at the time.
