Summary
This bill repeals provisions of federal law that currently make reemployed annuitants ineligible for physicians comparability allowances and special pay. Reemployed annuitants are former federal employees who have retired and are receiving a federal annuity but have returned to federal employment. The bill removes restrictions in title 5 and title 38 of the United States Code that prevent reemployed physicians and dentists from receiving physicians comparability allowances and special pay for physicians and dentists. After enactment, reemployed federal annuitants who work as physicians or dentists would become eligible for these compensation adjustments.
