H.R. 673 · 116th Congress
Shutdown Relief Act
Key: what the circles and colors mean
Each circle is a bill. The ring fills as it moves through Congress:
Under the number: the Yea · Nay count of its final (or latest) recorded vote. On a member's page, the small badge is how that member voted: Y Yea / Aye, N Nay / No, P Present, – Not voting.
Gold and violet are only for Yea and Nay; they never mean a party. A member's party is the letter on their photo.
Never voted on. It didn't reach a floor vote before the 116th Congress ended, so it expired. A bill has to be introduced again to be considered in a new Congress.

Shutdown Relief Act
This bill requires that a lapse in appropriations (i.e., government shutdown) shall be deemed a financial hardship for the purpose of allowing Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) participants to make withdrawals from their TSP accounts.
Federal employees participating in the TSP may withdraw funds from their accounts up to the amount of the annual salary they would have received but for such lapse. Such withdrawals shall be without penalty if the funds are returned to the TSP account within 180 days.
