Regulations governing retirement for members of the House of Representatives in Indonesia are clearly stipulated in Law No. 12 of 1980, but there are many differences between the implementation in Indonesia and the United States. This study aims to analyze the suitability of the House of Representatives' pension policy based on the principles of good governance and the implications of this policy by comparing Indonesia and the United States. This study uses a normative juridical approach with legislative, conceptual, and comparative techniques. The results of the study show that the pension regulations of the House of Representatives in Indonesia and the United States show significant differences, so that policy regulations that are in line with the principles of good governance are needed, as has been implemented in the United States.
