🧵 A new House bill would force federal agencies to explain in writing every time they deny an employee’s request to work remotely. Rep. Suhas Subramanyam’s Federal Telework Protection Act sets a process that weighs medical conditions, caregiving, disability, and commuting time.

Employees who are denied can appeal to an agency telework office, which has 90 days to respond. If it issues no decision in that time, the request is treated as approved until the office rules.
