SUMMARY

H.R. 3303 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 return to work and remain covered by enhanced retirement. That provision
would apply even if those workers return to work 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.

Classifying some federal positions as covered under enhanced retirement when they
otherwise would not be would have several budgetary effects, including:

    Increased direct spending for benefit payments because of earlier retirements that
      are calculated under a more generous formula,

    Increased revenues from additional retirement contributions paid by
      employees, and

    Increased retirement contributions paid by employing agencies out of their
      discretionary appropriations.

On net, CBO estimates that enacting H.R. 3303 would increase deficits by $8 million
over the 2019-2028 period. That amount comprises an increase in direct spending of
$11 million and an increase in revenues of $3 million. Because enacting H.R. 3303 would
affect direct spending and revenues, pay-as-you-go procedures apply. In addition, CBO
