Expanding Law Enforcement Retirement Benefits for Federal Employees
This Act expands the definition of "law enforcement officer" for federal retirement systems (FERS and CSRS) to include several new categories of federal employees, such as VA police officers, certain IRS collection agents, and specific CBP specialists. This change grants these employees access to specialized, often more advantageous, retirement benefits. Current employees in these roles can elect to credit their past service toward the LEO retirement system by paying the difference in required contributions.
Key points
The definition of Law Enforcement Officer (LEO) for federal retirement purposes is expanded to cover new federal positions.
New roles included are VA police officers, U.S. Postal Inspection Service employees, certain IRS tax collection agents, and specific CBP seized property specialists.
Current employees can choose to count their prior service as LEO service, requiring them to pay a deposit covering the difference in past retirement contributions.
Newly designated LEOs are temporarily exempt from mandatory retirement age separation rules for three years after the law takes effect.
