Higher retirement age for Foreign Service
This bill would change the mandatory retirement age for Foreign Service personnel. It would replace the current age 65 with "age 67 or the applicable retirement age (as defined in section 216(l) of the Social Security Act, 42 U.S.C. 416(l)), whichever is greater." If enacted, covered Foreign Service employees would be able to work longer and potentially earn more salary and benefits before mandatory retirement.
