HR 8844 United States House · 119th Congress

U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer Retirement Technical Corrections Act

This bill, known as the U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer Retirement Technical Corrections Act, corrects retirement benefits for specific officers who were offered jobs before July 6, 2008, but started working on or after that date. It ensures these officers are treated as if they were already serving on July 6, 2008, granting them a minimum annuity amount and an exemption from mandatory retirement age. To implement these changes, the Department of Homeland Security must create a list of affected individuals, notify them of their new benefits, and work with the Office of Personnel Management to apply retroactive adjustments. Additionally, the bill requires the Government Accountability Office to review hiring practices related to these benefits and submit a report to Congress within 18 months.
