Bill > S727

This bill addresses retirement benefits for specific U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officers who received a tentative job offer before July 6, 2008, and started their duty on or after that date. The bill provides these "Eligible Individuals" with several key provisions: they will be considered as CBP Officers on July 6, 2008, for retirement purposes, receive a minimum annuity amount, and be exempt from mandatory retirement age requirements. The Secretary of Homeland Security must create a list of Eligible Individuals within 120 days, notify them of their annuity corrections, and provide necessary information to the Office of Personnel Management (OPM). OPM will then make retroactive annuity adjustments for those who have already retired. Additionally, the Secretary of Homeland Security can retroactively waive maximum entry age requirements to ensure these individuals' retirement eligibility. The bill also mandates that the Government Accountability Office conduct a comprehensive review of CBP's hiring practices, internal controls, and policies related to enhanced retirement benefits, and submit a report to relevant congressional committees within 18 months of the bill's enactment.
