22 U.S.C. § 4172: Savings provisions

Summary

All decisions, rules, orders, agreements, recognitions, or other actions done under the old Foreign Service Act of 1946 or any law changed by this chapter keep being valid until the proper authority changes or cancels them. Any grievances, claims, or appeals filed and still unresolved on February 15, 1981 must keep following the old rules that applied when they were filed. If someone became entitled to a pension or other benefit before February 15, 1981, any increase they received under a provision that was changed or repealed stays in effect. When other laws refer to parts of the old Foreign Service Act or laws replaced by this chapter, those references must be read as pointing to the matching parts of this chapter.
