The Federal Firefighters Families First Act aims to improve the pay and retirement benefits for federal firefighters. Its main objectives are to ensure fair pay compared to other federal and municipal firefighters, enhance recruitment and retention of firefighters, and provide a clearer method for calculating retirement benefits based on actual work hours. Key provisions of the Act include changes to how pay is calculated for federal firefighters. It updates the maximum number of hours that can be counted in a firefighter's workweek to 60 hours.
