Retirement pay for NOAA and PHS officers
What the bill does
This bill would allow retired officers of the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Public Health Service (PHS) to receive their retirement pay from the Department of Defense Military Retirement Fund. Currently, only members of the armed forces and Coast Guard get paid from that fund. The bill changes the law to include NOAA and PHS commissioned corps as uniformed services eligible for the same retirement fund.
The stakes
Retired NOAA and PHS officers would get their pensions from a larger, more stable fund. This could affect thousands of retired officers and their families, and it changes how the government pays for their retirement benefits.
