Pension bonus drive sparks federal retirements by July
Thousands of federal workers plan to quit by July 1 if a 4.5 percent pension boost is delayed, tied to April CPI data. If CPI holds above 123.4, retirees and former workers would gain the increase in August. The rate hinges on three months of CPI staying high, with a 1 percent add-on for delay.

The piece notes congressional and union actions around health premiums and private delivery concerns.
