Subsection (b). It makes the same replacement in section 8425(c) of title 5, United States Code: the words "becomes 60 years of age" are struck and words setting an age determined by the Board, no lower than 57 and no higher than 62, are inserted.

What the document actually says

“Section 8425(c) of title 5, United States Code, is amended by striking "becomes 60 years of age" and inserting "attains an age determined by the Board, which shall be not less than 57 years of age and not more than 62 years of age".”

That sentence, in plain words

This part crosses out the same old words. It writes in the same new words. A board picks the age, from 57 to 62.

What this is about

The same change is made in a second spot in the law. That spot is about a newer plan for federal workers. The plan is known as FERS.

No action is recorded against this proposal. That is not evidence that none has been taken, and nobody has yet read it against the record. See what the tracker does not yet cover.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, and we check the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
