What the document 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".”
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.

How to Read This Page
The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against 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.
