H.R. 521 would allow certain federal employees who are covered by provisions of enhanced retirement and who become ill or injured while performing the duties of their position to remain covered by enhanced retirement even if they have to resume duty (as a result of their illness or injury) in a position that would otherwise not be covered.
Under the bill, people in covered positions include law enforcement officers, fire fighters, customs and border protection agents, air traffic controllers, nuclear materials couriers, members of the U.S. Capitol Police, members of the Supreme Court Police, Central Intelligence Agency agents, and special agents under the Foreign Service Act of 1980.
