                                 A BILL


 
  To amend title 38, United States Code, to revise the computation of 
 retirement annuities for part-time employment by persons employed by 
          the Department of Veterans Affairs under that title.

    Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the 
United States of America in Congress assembled,

SECTION 1. SHORT TITLE.

    This Act may be cited as the ``Department of Veterans Affairs 
Employee Retirement Equity Act''.

SEC. 2. RETIREMENT ANNUITIES FOR PART-TIME EMPLOYMENT.

    (a) Title 38 Employees.--Section 7426 of title 38, United States 
Code, is amended--
            (1) by striking ``(a) Except as provided in subsection (b), 
        persons'' and inserting ``Persons''; and
            (2) by striking subsection (b).
    (b) Adjustment of Existing Annuities.--In the case of an individual 
who was employed by the Veterans Health Administration of the 
Department of Veterans Affairs (or a predecessor entity) and who 
retired under chapter 83 or chapter 84 of title 5, United States Code, 
during the period beginning on September 20, 1986, and ending on the 
date of the enactment of this Act, the annuity of such individual shall 
be adjusted (effective as of the first day of the first month beginning 
after the date of the enactment of this Act) so as to be the amount 
that such annuity would have been if the provisions of section 4109(b) 
of title 38, United States Code, had not been revived by section 7003 
of the Omnibus Reconciliation Act of 1986 (Public Law 99-509; 100 Stat. 
1949) (and subsequently recodified as section 7426(b) of such title).
