The purpose of this legislation, known as the "Pony Up Act," is to require the United States Postal Service (USPS) to reimburse individuals for fees incurred due to late payments on bills that were delayed in the mail. The aim is to hold the USPS accountable for delays that result in financial penalties for citizens. Key provisions of the act include a requirement for the USPS to pay back any fees or penalties that a citizen faces if their bill or payment is delivered late. The amount reimbursed will equal the total fees incurred.
