Raises Retirement Age for Capitol Police
Official: To amend title 5, United States Code, to authorize the increase of the retirement age in the United States Capitol Police.
This bill increases the retirement age for United States Capitol Police officers, allowing them to retire between the ages of 57 and 65.
This bill authorizes the Capitol Police Board to waive the mandatory retirement age for members of the Capitol Police up to age 65. (Under current law, a member of the Capitol Police is generally subject to mandatory retirement at age 57 but may receive a waiver from the board authorizing later retirement up to age 60.)
1. The bill allows the retirement age for Capitol Police officers to be between 57 and 65 years old. 2. Currently, Capitol Police officers can retire at age 60. 3. The change aims to provide more flexibility in retirement planning for these officers. 4. The decision on the exact retirement age will be made by a governing Board. 5. This adjustment affects both the Civil Service Retirement System and the Federal Employees' Retirement System.
This bill affects current and future officers of the United States Capitol Police.
