NOTE:   Those Customs and Borders Protection Officers who were ‘grandfathered’ are not bound by mandatory retirement provisions, and therefore may participate in Phased Retirement.

SPECIAL NOTE:  Persons who have mandatory retirement ages must retire from their classification.  That does not mean those individual are ineligible to work outside of their classification.
