S. 2249, the Border Patrol Supervisors Retention Act, expands eligibility for special overtime pay to U.S. Border Patrol supervisors and senior agents in higher grade levels. Currently, only Border Patrol agents at the GS-12 grade level qualify for enhanced overtime compensation; this bill extends that benefit to agents classified at grades GS-12 through GS-15, covering supervisory and management positions. The legislation aims to improve retention of experienced Border Patrol personnel by making overtime pay more competitive at senior levels. The bill was introduced in July 2025 and referred to the Senate Committee on Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs but does not specify new funding allocations or implementation timelines.
