USPS pauses pension payments to ease cash squeeze amid looming liquidity risk
USPS says it will temporarily suspend payments to the Federal Employees Retirement System pension plan to free up about $2.5 billion this fiscal year as it faces a liquidity crunch that could leave the agency cash-poor by early 2027; officials say there will be no immediate impact on current workers or retirees, and Thrift Savings Plan contributions aren’t affected, but the move isn’t a fix and Congress must act to increase funding to restore profitability.
