I have looked into this for several opportunities and have been told 100% of the time that they are waiting for guidelines from OPM. As the article states:
..."OPM does plan to issue regulations on the topic. Before these regulations are issued, they will be published in the Federal Register for comments.
...
Since the agencies have not been told they can use this authority, ...OPM wants agencies to begin maintaining their case files immediately, and report to OPM on February 1, 2010 on use of this authority through December 31, 2009."
These reports due next week will be a one word answer..."NONE."
If anyone knows anyone who has had success in this regard, I would be interested in knowing about it. Keep names out but please mention the overall department or activity that has moved on this legislation.
DOD already had authority to rehire annuitants, so this legislation really does not apply to DOD in the same way.

The article is about the recent authority granted to civilian agencies as a rider to the Defense Authorization Act passed in October 2009.
That is the authority that hasn't yet been implemented, because everyone is waiting for OPM to issue guidance. It has a number of conditions and limitations that the DOD authority does not.
Generally, DOD authorizes full pay and full pension, but the appointment IS subject to Priority Placement Program. So if someone comes up on ICTAP or CTAP, and you are employed under the DOD authority, that person can bounce you out of the job. It's a reasonable condition to give someone who has been displaced a job rather than pay someone nearly twice to do the same job.
My two cents.

That goodness DOD doesn't have all those hour restrictions. I have been "retired" for 36 months now and have been working as an annuitant on and off for 22 of those months.

Would this include being hired for a fire? I always thought I could work on a Federal emergency like a fire while being retired. They need our expertise in ops, logs, finance and plans. Isn't this another form of AD hire?

I'm Civil Service. That means i can NEVER collect on social secuity. So if i go to work i pay 4.9% State tax, 25% federal and 7.65 Social security. Total tax is 37.55% tax. the top 500 tax payers in the us according to the wall street journal pay 17%. So i should pay more than Bill Gates? NO WAY!!
