The Government Employee Fair Treatment Act of 2019 (GEFTA) is a United States federal law which requires retroactive pay and leave accrual for federal employees affected by the furlough as a result of the 2018–19 federal government shutdown and any future lapses in appropriations.[1] The Act is an amendment to the Anti-Deficiency Act, which governs federal procedures during a lapse in annual appropriations.[1]
