Bill > S3868

This bill, the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer Retirement Technical Corrections Act, aims to correct the inequitable denial of enhanced retirement and annuity benefits to certain U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officers. Specifically, the bill defines "Eligible Individuals" as those who received and accepted a CBP officer job offer before July 6, 2008 and entered duty on or after that date. These Eligible Individuals are considered to have been serving as CBP officers on July 6, 2008, entitling them to the minimum annuity amount and an exemption from mandatory retirement. The bill requires the Department of Homeland Security to identify Eligible Individuals, notify them of the annuity correction, and provide the necessary information to the Office of Personnel Management to make the corrected annuity calculations, including retroactive adjustments for retirees. The bill also allows for waivers of the maximum entry age requirement and directs the Government Accountability Office to review CBP hiring practices related to these enhanced retirement benefits.
