This law changes parts of the federal retirement statutes so that members of the Capitol Police no longer have a fixed retirement age of 60. Instead, it lets "the Board" set a retirement age that must be at least 57 and no more than 62. The change amends section 8335(c) (Civil Service Retirement System) and section 8425(c) (Federal Employees’ Retirement System) of title 5, United States Code. The measure was signed into law on May 29, 2026.
If you are a member of the Capitol Police, your mandatory retirement age can now be set by the Board at an age between 57 and 62, instead of being fixed at 60. For people who are not members of the Capitol Police, this law does not change their retirement rules.
