Raise the mandatory retirement age for Foreign Service officers from 65 to 67 and tie it to the full Social Security retirement age.

The Foreign Service Age Integration and Reform (FAIR) Act would raise the mandatory retirement age for America’s diplomats from 65 to 67— aligning it with the full Social Security retirement age (FRA). The legislation also ensures the retirement age for Foreign Service Officers automatically adjusts alongside any future changes to the FRA.

Olszewski and Lawler introduced the FAIR Act, which would raise the Foreign Service mandatory retirement age and index it to Social Security's full retirement age.
