I. PURPOSE AND SUMMARY

The purpose of S. 1515 is to permit certain employees of the U.S. 

Secret Service (USSS) who were hired between January 1, 1984 

and December 31, 1986, to transfer from the Federal Employees’ 

Retirement System (FERS) to the District of Columbia Police and

1 Unlike Uniformed Division Officers, who were automatically placed into the DC Retirement 

System, agents who were hired before January 1, 1984 who had accrued 10 years of protection 

time were eligible to transfer into the DC Retirement System. 2The USSS reimburses the District of Columbia on a monthly basis to cover the cost of annuity benefits for UD officers and agents, pursuant to P.L. 71–221 and P.L. 76–847. 3See USSS memorandum on the District of Columbia Police and Firefighters Retirement and 

Disability System, March 27, 2001. 4 Numerous agents and officers submitted letters to senior USSS employees attesting that 

when they were recruited, they were informed of the generous retirement system and the ability 

to participate in the DC Retirement System. 5The USSS agents and UD officers have pursued actions to participate in the DC Retirement 

System through the Office of Personnel Management (OPM), the Merit Systems Protection 

Board (MSPB), the U.S. Secret Service, and the U.S. District Court for the District of Columbia. 

Firefighter Retirement and Disability System (DC Retirement System). The bill would thereby resolve a longstanding dispute between the federal government and these employees regarding the 

employees’ appropriate retirement coverage and help ensure that 

the USSS does not lose a significant number of highly experienced 

and critical personnel. 

II. BACKGROUND AND NEED FOR THE LEGISLATION

The Uniformed Division (UD) of the USSS has its origins in a 

local District of Columbia special police force dedicated to protecting the White House, known as the White House Police. Although UD officers became federal employees in the first half of the 

last century, the local origins of the USSS led to an unusual situation in which these federal employees, as well as their colleagues 

in the Secret Service division responsible for protecting current and 

former Presidents and their families (USSS agents),1 received their 

retirement coverage under the DC Retirement System.2 That began 

to change in the mid-1980s, when Congress enacted sweeping reforms to Federal employees’ retirement coverage. The Federal Employees’ Retirement System Act of 1986 (the FERS Act) began the 

process of phasing out the Civil Service Retirement System (CSRS) 

by putting most federal employees hired after December 31, 1983 

into the Federal Employees’ Retirement System, which was slated 

to be up and running in 1987. The FERS Act required Federal employees participating in FERS to make Social Security contributions and made them eligible for Social Security benefits upon retirement. The FERS Act also established the Thrift Savings Plan 

(TSP), a defined contribution plan through which each employee 

contributes into an individual retirement savings account. The Executive Branch has long interpreted the FERS Act as requiring 

USSS agents and UD officers hired after December 31, 1983 to receive their retirement coverage through FERS, not the DC Retirement System.3

Many USSS agents and UD officers hired between January 1, 

1984 and December 31, 1986, however, have since their hiring alleged that the USSS, in part as a recruiting and subsequently as 

a retention tool, promised them eligibility for retirement under the 

more generous DC Retirement System.4 Many of them have filed 

judicial or administrative actions seeking to obtain coverage under 

the DC Retirement System, but they have thus far been unsuccessful in obtaining relief.5

After reviewing the matter, the Committee has determined that 

the interests of the government in retaining the services of these 

highly qualified and experienced USSS employees warrant enaVerDate Mar 15 2010 00:16 Aug 30, 2012 Jkt 019010 PO 00000 Frm 00004 Fmt 6659 Sfmt 6602 E:\HR\OC\SR205.XXX SR205

6The number of FERS retirees covered under S. 1515 retiring every year has increased from 

4 retirees in Fiscal Year 2004 to 10 retirees in Fiscal Year 2009. Currently, 121 agents and officers hired between 1984 and 1986 are eligible to retire. 7 According to the USSS, more than 65 percent of the agents and officers eligible to retire hold 

senior leadership positions within the agency. 8The USSS informs the Committee that the bill would apply to approximately 121 employees. 

bling certain USSS agents and UD officers to transfer from the 

FERS system to the DC Retirement System. As an increasing number of this group of agents and officers become eligible for retirement 6 without the option to elect into the DC Retirement System, 

many are leaving the Secret Service for higher-paying positions in 

the private sector.7 The reasons are clear: Secret Service employees 

participating in the DC Retirement System have a significantly 

greater incentive to continue working after 20 years of service than 

do those covered by FERS. Those covered by the DC Retirement 

System receive an additional 3 percent of their pay for each year 

they work after twenty years of service, while FERS employees receive only an additional 1 percent for each year over twenty. 

To remedy this situation, S. 1515 would offer a very carefully defined group of UD officers and Secret Service agents the opportunity to transfer into the DC Retirement System.8 Only agents 

and officers hired between January 1, 1984 and December 31, 1986 

would be eligible to transfer into the DC Retirement System. In 

order to make the transfer, the employees would have to apply and 

would agree to give up certain benefits established under the FERS 

Act, such as the agency contributions in their individual TSP accounts. Also, S. 1515 would only apply to current Secret Service 

employees, and thus, this legislation would not be applicable to current retirees who were hired between January 1, 1984 and December 31, 1986. 

III. LEGISLATIVE HISTORY

S. 1515 was introduced by Senator Lieberman on September 6, 

2011, and referred to the Committee. The Committee considered 

the bill at a business meeting on May 16, 2012. The Committee 

adopted by voice vote a substitute amendment offered by Senator 

Lieberman and then voted to report the bill, also by voice vote. 

Chairman Lieberman, Senators Levin, Akaka, Carper, Pryor, 

Tester, Begich, Collins, and Brown were present for both votes. 

Senators Coburn, Johnson, and Moran asked by proxy to be recorded as voting against S. 1515. 

The substitute amends S. 1515 to require the USSS agents and 

UD officers covered under S. 1515 to make a lump sum payment 

for deposit into the USSS appropriations account in order to participate in the DC Retirement System. The substitute also requires 

the USSS agents and officers who transition into the DC Retirement System to forfeit all contributions to the Thrift Savings Fund 

made by the Secret Service. Finally, the substitute clarifies that 

those electing to transfer into the DC Retirement System will be 

subject to the same provisions governing federal reemployment as 

other federal retirees, which restrict individuals’ ability to receive 

both a full pension and a salary at the same time.

IV. SECTION-BY-SECTION ANALYSIS

Section 1. Short title 

This section provides that the short title of the bill is the ‘‘United 

States Secret Service Retirement Act of 2012.’’ 

Section 2. Sense of the Senate 

This section provides that it is the sense of the Senate that Secret Service agents and officers hired between January 1, 1984 and 

December 31, 1986, were promised that, in part as a recruitment 

and retention tool, that they would be eligible to participate in the 

District of Columbia Police and Firefighters Retirement System. 

Section 3. Authority of certain members of United States Secret 

Service to elect coverage under District of Columbia Police and 

Firefighter Retirement System. 

This section sets forth the criteria for coverage under S. 1515 

and the procedures for transferring covered USSS employees from 

FERS to the DC Retirement System. 

Subsection (a) provides that covered employees, after receiving 

notification of the transition costs, must make a lump sum payment for deposit into the USSS appropriations account in order to 

participate in the DC Retirement System. The covered employees 

who transition into the DC Retirement System will continue to 

make Social Security contributions and will be entitled to the same 

benefits, subject to existing offset requirements designed to ensure 

against overlapping or duplicative contributions and benefits. 

Subsection (a) defines ‘‘covered employees’’ as individuals who: 

(1) were hired as members of the U.S. Secret Service Division 

(USSS agents) or the U.S. Secret Service Uniformed Division (UD 

officers) between January 1, 1984 through December 31, 1986; (2) 

actively performed duties directly related to the protection mission 

of the USSS for 10 or more years; (3) serve as agents or UD officers 

on the enactment date of S. 1515; and (4) are covered under FERS 

on the date of enactment. 

Subsection (b) provides that not later than 30 days after the date 

of enactment of this Act, the Director of the Secret Service must 

notify each covered employee that he or she is covered by this law. 

The Director must also notify each covered employee of the transition costs not later than 15 days after determining the costs to 

transition from FERS to the DC Retirement System. 

Subsection (c) provides that within 60 days after the date of enactment of S. 1515, the Office of Pay and Retirement Services of 

the District of Columbia must calculate the transition costs for 

each agent and officer covered under S. 1515. 

Section 4. Forfeiture of employer contributions for Thrift Savings 

plan 

This section provides that the USSS agents and officers covered 

under S. 1515 must forfeit all contributions to the Thrift Savings 

Fund made by an employing agency. 

Section 5. Treatment of reemployed annuitants 

This section provides that USSS annuitants covered under S. 

1515 who transition into the DC Retirement System and accept full 


PWALKER on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
5 

time employment with another federal agency will be subject to the 

same pension offset provisions under title 5, United States Code, 

that currently apply to reemployed annuitants under the Federal 

Employees Retirement System and the Civil Service Retirement 

System. 

Section 6. PAYGO compliance 

This section provides that the budgetary effects of the Secret 

Service Retirement Act shall be determined by the ‘‘Budgetary Effects of PAYGO Legislation.’’ 

V. EVALUATION OF REGULATORY IMPACT

Pursuant to the requirements of paragraph 11(b) of rule XXVI of 

the Standing Rules of the Senate, the Committee has considered 

the regulatory impact of S. 1515. The Committee agrees with the 

Congressional Budget Office (CBO) that the bill would impose an 

intergovernmental mandate as defined in the Unfunded Mandates 

Reform Act (UMRA). The Committee also agrees with CBO that 

the bill contains no new private-sector mandates as defined in 

UMRA. The enactment of this legislation will not have significant 

regulatory impact. 

VI. CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE COST ESTIMATE

U.S. CONGRESS, 

CONGRESSIONAL BUDGET OFFICE, 

Washington, DC, August 1, 2012. 

Hon. JOSEPH I. LIEBERMAN, 

Chairman, Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs, U.S. Senate, Washington, DC. 

DEAR MR. CHAIRMAN: The Congressional Budget Office has prepared the enclosed cost estimate for S. 1515, the United States Secret Service Retirement Act of 2012. 

If you wish further details on this estimate, we will be pleased 

to provide them. The CBO staff contact is Santiago Vallinas. 

Sincerely, 

ROBERT A. SUNSHINE

(For Douglas W. Elmendorf, Director). 

Enclosure. 

S. 1515—United States Secret Service Retirement Act of 2012 

Summary: S. 1515 would permit certain current employees of the 

U.S. Secret Service hired between January 1, 1984, and December 

31, 1986, to move from the Federal Employees Retirement System 

(FERS) to the District of Columbia Police and Firefighter Retirement and Disability System (D.C. system). The bill would require 

that agents who elect to change systems pay for the additional retirement benefits provided under the D.C. system over the next 11 

years (referred to in the bill as transition costs). This bill also 

would require Secret Service agents who choose to be covered 

under the D.C. system to forfeit all contributions to the Thrift Savings Plan (TSP) made on their behalf by the Secret Service or any 

other agencies. 

Pay-as-you-go procedures apply because enacting the legislation 

would affect direct spending and revenues. 


PWALKER on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS

CBO estimates that enacting S. 1515 would, on net, generate an 

insignificant amount of budgetary savings over the 2013–2022 period. Increased direct spending resulting from the additional retirement benefits under the D.C. system would total $7 million over 

the 10-year period, but those costs would be offset by the payment 

in 2013 of transition costs by employees who switch retirement 

plans. Such employees would also convert from contributing to 

FERS (which would reduce revenues), to contributing to the D.C. 

system (which would increase offsetting receipts by a similar 

amount). 

Because S. 1515 would require the District of Columbia to determine the cost for some members of the Secret Service to switch to 

the D.C. system, the bill would impose an intergovernmental mandate as defined in the Unfunded Mandates Reform Act (UMRA). 

CBO estimates that the cost of the mandate would be minimal and 

would not exceed the threshold established in UMRA for intergovernmental mandates ($73 million in 2012, adjusted annually for inflation). This bill contains no new private-sector mandates as defined in UMRA. 

Estimated cost to the Federal Government: The estimated budgetary impact of S. 1515 is shown in the following table. The costs 

of this legislation fall within budget function 600 (income security).

Basis of estimate: For the purposes of this estimate, CBO assumes that S. 1515 will be enacted late in 2012. Based on information from the Secret Service and the Office of Management and 

Budget, CBO estimates that 121 employees would be eligible to 

transfer to the D.C. retirement system under this bill. However, 

based on an analysis of the costs and benefits to individuals faced 

with the option of making the switch, CBO estimates that it is unlikely that more than 10 percent of eligible employees would choose 

to make that change. The number of employees taking advantage 

of this option would probably be small because the cost they would 

face to switch retirement systems (on average, between $300,000 

and $400,000) would be very high. Furthermore, the net benefit 

over time of switching would not be large. 

Direct spending and revenues 

Because the D.C. system provides a higher basic pension than 

FERS, the current retirement plan for the eligible Secret Service 

employees, CBO estimates that enacting the bill would result in 

additional federal costs of about $7 million for benefit payments 

over the 2013–2022 period if 10 percent of eligible employees transfer. (The D.C. system is run by the government of Washington, 

D.C., but receives a payment from the federal government to cover 


PWALKER on DSK7TPTVN1PROD with REPORTS
7 

certain federal employees.) That additional spending would be partially offset by the higher contributions totaling less than $500,000 

that employees would make to the D.C. system over the 10-year period. The bill also would require that all employees electing to 

move to the D.C. system pay for the additional retirement benefits 

they would receive through 2022. The transactions for this cohort 

of employees in the D.C. system would be recorded in the federal 

budget. CBO estimates those one-time payments would increase 

offsetting receipts (a credit against direct spending) by about $7 

million in 2013. 

In addition, the bill would reduce revenues by less than $500,000 

over the 2013–2022 period, because individuals who elect to transfer to the D.C. system would no longer contribute to FERS. (Contributions to FERS are classified as revenues.) 

Spending subject to appropriation 

The bill would authorize an appropriation of $75,000 to the District of Columbia to calculate the transition costs. CBO estimates 

that the other discretionary costs would not be significant. All of 

the discretionary budgetary effects of implementing S. 1515 would 

be subject to the availability of appropriated funds. 

Pay-As-You-Go considerations: The Statutory Pay-As-You-Go Act 

of 2010 establishes budget-reporting and enforcement procedures 

for legislation affecting direct spending or revenues. The net 

changes in outlays and revenues that are subject to those pay-asyou-go procedures are shown in the following table.

Estimated impact on state, local, and tribal governments: The 

bill would impose an intergovernmental mandate by requiring the 

Office of Pay and Retirement Services of the District of Columbia 

to determine the cost for some members of the Secret Service to 

change retirement plans. Based on information from agency 

sources, CBO estimates that the cost of the mandate would be 

minimal and would not exceed the threshold established in UMRA 

for intergovernmental mandates ($73 million in 2012, adjusted annually for inflation). The bill would authorize the appropriation of 

$75,000 for the District to carry out the requirement. 

Estimated impact on the private sector: This bill contains no new 

private-sector mandates as defined in UMRA.
