    💰

    Citation:86 FR 7797
    Reading Time:about 5 minutes

    The Merit Systems Protection Board (MSPB) issued a final rule to adjust civil monetary penalties (CMPs) for 2021. This adjustment follows the Federal Civil Penalties Inflation Adjustment Act Improvements Act of 2015, which mandates annual inflation-based updates to penalties. For 2021, the penalties for certain violations are increased to a maximum of $1,125, rounded from a calculated amount based on an inflation multiplier. The adjustments ensure penalties maintain their deterrent effect and will be applied starting February 2, 2021.

    The government made a new rule to slightly increase the fines people have to pay when they break certain rules, so that the fines still feel like a "big deal" and stop others from breaking the rules too.
