U.S. Customs and Border Protection is currently making use of this dual compensation waiver authority in efforts to rehire retired Customs and Border Protection officers as reemployed annuitants to support recruitment and training efforts. (b) Sense of Congress It is the sense of Congress that by establishing a reserve service comprised of skilled, ready-to-work former employees, components of the Department of Homeland Security can better mitigate personnel shortages and meet emergent demands without unnecessarily recruiting, hiring, and training new permanent employees.
