Eligibility for Retired Federal Employees – Term Positions Public Law 114‑285 authorizes FLETC to hire retired federal employees with law enforcement/investigative experience for time‑limited positions with eligibility for a dual‑compensation waiver. The waiver allows retirees to return to work, earning their full salary with no offset to their FERS annuity. However, the waiver does not exempt the FERS annuity supplement from being reduced. Retirees who receive a FERS annuity supplement must be aware that, like social security benefits, the FERS annuity supplement is subject to an earnings test and may be reduced if the salary earned is more than the social security exempt amount of earnings. Additional information is available on OPM's website or by contacting OPM. Eligibility for Retired Federal Employees – Permanent Positions Re‑employed annuitants' annual salaries will be reduced by the amount of their retirement annuity and by further cost of living increases. FERS retirees receiving a FERS annuity supplement must also be aware that, like social security benefits, their FERS annuity supplement is subject to an earnings test and may be reduced if the salary earned is higher than the social security exempt amount of earnings. Additional information is available on OPM's website or by contacting OPM. #J-18808-Ljbffr
