The Foreign Service Age Integration and Reform (FAIR) Act of 2026 seeks to modify the mandatory retirement age for members of the Foreign Service. This legislation proposes to amend the Foreign Service Act of 1980 to increase the current mandatory retirement age from 65 years old . Specifically, the bill would change the mandatory retirement age to 67 years old or the applicable retirement age as defined by the Social Security Act, whichever is greater. This adjustment aims to align the Foreign Service mandatory retirement age with the Social Security Full Retirement Age , potentially allowing Foreign Service personnel to serve longer.
