Among bills recently reintroduced in Congress is HR-1522, affecting federal employees who began their careers after 1988 as temporary workers and did not make retirement contributions in that time.
Under the bipartisan bill, they could make catch-up contributions to capture credit for that time toward a retirement calculation. That had been allowed for those hired previously but was ended by a law effective in 1989.
Another reintroduced bill affecting retirement benefits, S-727, would correct an anomaly that could cause lower retirement benefits for some CBP officers related to their inclusion in the special benefits package for law enforcement officers.
