What this bill would do

This bill changes the rules to include certain federal jobs within the official definition of a law enforcement officer specifically for retirement purposes. It covers federal workers who investigate or apprehend criminals and carry firearms, IRS employees who collect delinquent taxes and secure returns, and workers with the United States Postal Inspection Service. It also includes Department of Veterans Affairs police officers and specific seized property specialists working for U.S. Customs and Border Protection. Current workers in these positions can choose to count their past service toward these new retirement rules if they meet certain conditions. Finally, the legislation outlines how workers and government agencies must handle deposits and contributions to cover the costs of these prior service credits.
