Enhanced Retirement Benefits for Customs and Border Protection Officers

This Act corrects a technical error that unfairly denied enhanced retirement benefits to certain U.S. Customs and Border Protection Officers (CBPOs). Eligible officers who started duty around a key date in 2008 will now receive higher annuity payments, including retroactive adjustments for those already retired. This ensures fair financial treatment for these federal law enforcement personnel.
Key points
CBPOs who received a job offer before July 6, 2008, but started duty shortly after, are now eligible for enhanced retirement benefits.
The law mandates retroactive annuity adjustments, meaning retired officers will receive back pay.
Eligible officers are also exempted from the mandatory retirement age, providing greater career flexibility.
