Military spouses employed by the federal government are "categorically exempt" from the Trump administration's return-to-office mandate.

While some military spouse "remote" workers are theoretically "safe" from this return-to-work policy update, teleworkers are not, nor are veteran and foreign service officer spouses. And, let's be honest, nor are our civilian counterparts who serve the military community.

Presidential order coupled with deferred-resignation offer and hiring freeze created a perfect storm of stress.

The bill would spare military spouses who work for the federal government from going back to in-person work as ordered by President Donald Trump on the day of his inauguration.
