IRS Job Opportunities for Department of Treasury Retirees
|
Important: |
On October 28, 2009, President Obama signed the National Defense Authorization Act for FY 2010 (NDAA) (Go to: Subtitle B – Provisions Relating to Reemployment of Annuitants; Sec. 1121. AUTHORITY TO EXPAND SCOPE OF PROVISIONS RELATING TO UNREDUCED COMPENSATION FOR CERTAIN REEMPLOYED ANNUITANTS). This law authorizes, among other things, Federal agencies to reemploy Federal annuitants (REAs) under certain limited conditions without a dual compensation reduction, i.e., allow REAs to receive both their full annuity and full salary without reduction in pay. This authority expires five years after the date of enactment (i.e., October 27, 2014).
