§2685 Reimbursement for Detailed State Department Personnel

Summary

An Executive agency must pay the State Department back for the salary and allowances of any State Department worker while that worker is assigned to the agency. No payment is needed if the State Department and the agency have an agreement to swap about the same number of staff for a fiscal year and those swaps happen, or if the assignment lasts one year or less, or if no more than 15 State Department workers are assigned at once and each assignment lasts two years or less. State Department workers sent to another Executive agency for up to one year do not count against any State Department staff limit set by the Director of the Office of Management and Budget. "Executive agency" means the type of federal agency defined in 5 U.S.C. 105.
