Under the, under the federal Employee Retirement System that I mentioned, Fairs, Federal law enforcement officers receive a supplemental supplement to their annuity when they retire to bridge them until they become eligible for Social Security at age 62. Our colleagues on the House Oversight Committee recently reported out legislation as part of the reconciliation process that would have required a federal law enforcement officer to work until they are 57 to receive this supplement. I have a huge Border Patrol presence in my district, as I mentioned earlier, and I personally know agents who because of injuries, really struggle to make it to retirement eligibility, let alone the mandatory retirement age of 57.
