Pensions for Retired Uniformed Servicemembers Act

This bill would have retired pay for retired officers of the NOAA Commissioned Officer Corps and the Public Health Service Commissioned Corps paid from the Department of Defense Military Retirement Fund, which currently covers the armed forces and the Coast Guard. It would change the fund's rules to cover all uniformed services and would give the Departments of Commerce and Health and Human Services roles in making payments into the fund. By January 1, 2027, a Board of Actuaries would calculate the value of future benefits owed for past NOAA and Public Health Service corps service and set a schedule for paying that amount into the fund. The bill also changes wording in survivor and family benefit laws from "armed forces" to "uniformed services."
