Bill > S727

This bill addresses retirement benefits for certain U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Officers who received job offers before July 6, 2008, but started work on or after that date. Specifically, the bill ensures these "Eligible Individuals" are treated as if they were CBP Officers on July 6, 2008, granting them two key benefits: a minimum annuity amount and an exemption from mandatory retirement age requirements. The Secretary of Homeland Security must create a list of these Eligible Individuals within 120 days, notify them of the annuity corrections, and provide necessary information to the Office of Personnel Management. The Office of Personnel Management will then make retroactive annuity adjustments for these individuals, including 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 a Government Accountability Office review of CBP's hiring practices and retirement benefits processes, with a report to be submitted to Congressional committees within 18 months, aimed at assessing the fairness and compliance of the current system.
