Secondary Position Redefinition for Federal Enhanced Retirement Eligibility
Discover how the Office of Personnel Management’s proposed rule modernizes secondary position definitions for law enforcement officers, firefighters, nuclear materials couriers, and customs and border protection officers. This course details how the new rule removes the requirement for primary position experience as a prerequisite for executive roles—giving agencies greater hiring flexibility—while maintaining protections for enhanced retirement benefits. Learn about the implications for recruitment, retirement eligibility, and the steps for providing public feedback before the rule is finalized.
In this course you will learn the following:
* Understand the purpose and intent of the proposed rule.
* Describe the current and proposed definitions of secondary positions.
* Recognize the implications for recruitment, retirement benefits, and agency flexibility.
* Identify the process for public comment and the importance of stakeholder engagement.
* Anticipate possible changes and understand the non-final status of the rule.
