Bill Summary
A BILL To amend title 5, United States Code, to provide that civilian service in a temporary position after December 31, 1988, may be creditable service under the Federal Employees Retirement System, and for other purposes.
AI Summary
This bill aims to modify the Federal Employees Retirement System (FERS) by allowing civilian employees who worked in temporary positions after December 31, 1988, to count that service towards their retirement benefits. Currently, temporary service before this date is not creditable, but the bill would remove this time restriction, potentially enabling more federal workers, including temporary employees of the United States Postal Service, to receive retirement credit for their past work. The bill requires the Director of the Office of Personnel Management (OPM) to notify agency human resources officials about the change and develop regulations to implement the new provisions. By expanding the definition of creditable service, the bill seeks to provide more fairness and recognition for temporary federal employees who have contributed to public service, potentially helping these workers achieve better retirement benefits by accounting for their previously uncredited work history.
