Fixing Retirement Benefits for Certain Border Officers

Also known as: U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officer Retirement Technical Corrections Act

Legislative Progress

Key Points

  • Fixes a past mistake so some border officers hired around July 2008 get the stronger retirement deal they were supposed to have
  • Gives these officers higher pension payments and lets some stay on the job past the normal forced retirement age
  • Requires Homeland Security to find everyone affected, tell them about the fix, and send records so pensions can be corrected, even for people already retired
  • Allows retroactive changes so no one misses out just because they were slightly older when first hired
  • Orders a watchdog review of hiring and benefits rules at the border agency so this kind of retirement error does not happen again
