transfer shall be deemed a transfer of function for purposes of section 
3503 of title 5, United States Code.
    (b) Guaranteed Positions.--Each employee transferred under 
subsection (a) shall be guaranteed a position with the same status, 
tenure, grade, and pay as that held on the day immediately preceding

Employees.--
            (1) In general.--In the case of employees occupying

        Service, any appointment authority established under law or by 
        regulations of the Office of Personnel Management for filling 
        such positions shall be transferred, subject to paragraph (2).
            (2) Decline of transfer.--The Director of the Federal 
        Housing Finance Agency may decline a transfer of authority 
        under paragraph (1) to the extent that such authority relates 
        to positions excepted from the competitive service because of 
        their confidential, policymaking, policy-determining, or 
        policy-advocating character, and noncareer positions in the 
        Senior Executive Service (within the meaning of section 
        3132(a)(7) of title 5, United States Code).

reorganization of the combined workforce is required, that 
reorganization shall be deemed a major reorganization for purposes of 
affording affected employees retirement under section 8336(d)(2) or 
8414(b)(1)(B) of title 5, United States Code.
    (e) Employee Benefit Programs.--
            (1) In general.--Any employee of the Board accepting 
        employment with the Federal Housing Finance Agency as a result 
        of a transfer under subsection (a) may retain for 12 months 
        after the date on which such transfer occurs membership in any 
        employee benefit program of the Federal Housing Finance Agency 
        or the Board, as applicable, including insurance, to which such 
        employee belongs on the effective date of the abolishment under 
        section 321(a) if--
                    (A) the employee does not elect to give up the 
                benefit or membership in the program; and
                    (B) the benefit or program is continued by the 
                Director of the Federal Housing Finance Agency.
            (2) Cost differential.--The difference in the costs between 
        the benefits which would have been provided by the Board and 
        those provided by this section shall be paid by the Director of 
        the Federal Housing Finance Agency. If any employee elects to 
        give up membership in a health insurance program or the health 
        insurance program is not continued by such Director, the 
        employee shall be permitted to select an alternate Federal 
        health insurance program within 30 days after such election or 
        notice, without regard to any other regularly scheduled open 
        season.
