Qualifications
You qualify for this position if you are currently serving as a Border Patrol Agent that is a member of the bargaining unit (i.e., eligible to be a member of NBPC/Union), within U.S. Customs and Border Protection. This experience must demonstrate responsibility for applying a comprehensive range of Federal laws, rules, regulations and procedures aimed at preventing the illegal entry of noncitizens into the United States by land, water, or air. If you are selected for this reassignment opportunity, you will be ineligible for a funded reassignment to a new duty location under the Operational Mobility or any other relocation program for a period of 4 calendar years after reporting to the new duty location.
Qualifications by Closing Date: You must meet all qualification requirements and eligibility requirements by 07/10/2026. Please note that qualification and eligibility claims will be subject to verification through a review of your application. This verification could occur at any stage of the application process. Falsification of your application will remove you from consideration and could subject you to disciplinary action.
Relocation Expenses and GSA Lump Sum (VRP) Payments: Agents relocating as a part of the Operational Mobility Program will receive the following lump sum amount, depending on their status. These lump sum payments are in lieu of any other relocation payments, the home buyout is not included under this relocation.
These lump sum amounts are before taxes. CBP will treat the entire lump sum as fully taxable and accordingly will use the flat rate method for withholding appropriate Federal Income Taxes, FICA and Medicare. All lump sum payments will be received through direct deposit.
A GSA Lump Sum (VRP) Verification Process has been established. Please be informed that, within 90 days after your report date, you will be requested to provide valid documentation confirming that you have established a residence closer to the new duty location. Further information on this process will be provided during the selection process.
Agents relocating into or out of Puerto Rico will receive a Permanent Change of Station (PCS) move in lieu of a GSA Lump Sum (VRP) payment, subject to the availability of relocation funding.
Distance Test: (1) Effective August 2011, cost transfers are subject to the "distance test". The "distance test" is met when the new official station is at least 50 miles further from the employees current residence than the old official station is from the same residence. For example, if the old official station is 15 miles from the current residence, then the new official station must be at least 65 miles from that same residence in order to receive relocation expenses for residence transactions. The distance test does not take into consideration the location of a new residence. Note: Station address is the physical address of the station not the official mailing address.
Agents who accept a job offer with a relocation incentive are required to sign a one-year service agreement in addition to the one-year relocation payment service agreement. Additionally, agents are ineligible for reassignment to a new duty location under this or any other relocation program for a period of 4 years as outlined in the Operational Mobility Agreement MOU. The service agreement for the relocation incentive, relocation payment service agreement, and the 4-year ineligibility period will all run concurrently (beginning on your Enter on Duty (EOD) date at the new station).
Relocation Information: To compare cost of living data, calculate mortgage scenarios or gather information on communities and school districts, please visit: Relocation Essentials.
An employee will lose their Relocation Benefits if they begin any portion of their relocation prior to the receipt of the signed/approved Relocation Package (CBP Form 4501 and/or CBP Form 4504) et. al; referred to below as the travel authorization) from the National Relocation Coordinator at the USBP/MROD office.
Per CBP Form 4505 Employment Agreement for Relocating within the Continental United States (CONUS), Agents accepting the relocation offer are required to remain an employee of the agency at the new duty location for at least one full year from reporting date to that location or they will be required to repay the full lump sum payments to the agency with the following exceptions:
Administrative Leave: A cumulative total of 40 hours will be authorized for pre/post move requirements (to include finding a home) for both funded and unfunded/no-cost transfers.
Two CBP Employees: In a multiple person household where two people are CBP employees, only one lump sum amount will be paid.
Change in Residence: In order to receive the GSA Lump Sum (VRP) payment, agents must change residence from which they normally commute to work and meet all requirements outlined in the Federal Travel Regulations (FTR): Travel Regulations.
Official Residence: Official residence is defined as the residence address listed with the National Finance Center (NFC). It is the agents responsibility to ensure that his/her official residence is correctly annotated in the NFC and updated as necessary.
Reporting Time: If you do not own a residence, you will have 45 calendar days from the date of formal acceptance to report to your new duty location. If you own a residence, you will have up to 90 calendar days from the date of formal acceptance to report to your new duty location.

Management will make as many of these no-cost transfers as determined to be consistent with operational needs. The procedures for selecting agents for no-cost transfers will be the same procedures as outlined above.

Eligibility for benefits depends on the type of position you hold and whether your position is full-time, part-time or intermittent. Contact the hiring agency for more information on the specific benefits offered.
How you will be evaluated
You will be evaluated for this job based on how well you meet the qualifications above.
As a Border Patrol Agent, you will serve as a primary Law Enforcement Officer under 5 U.S.C. 8331 (6C) and 8412 (d) and be responsible for:
A series of questions will be used to determine your eligibility and qualifications. If you meet those qualifications, you will be referred to management for selection consideration. 60% of the allotted slots for funded relocations will be filled based on seniority, with selections made to one of the applicants chosen stations, provided there is an open billet. The remaining 40% of the allotted slots will be designated by management to specific stations, and these slots will then be filled based on seniority.
Seniority Date Calculation: Provide your seniority date with U.S. Border Patrol in the 1896 series. This date will be used to rank you with your peers. Employees who knowingly or intentionally misrepresent their seniority date will be ineligible for relocation for four years. Generally, for most employees, this will be your initial Enter on Duty (EOD) date.
How to Calculate your Adjusted EOD Date: The total number of days you spent as an 1896 BPA prior to your current EOD date can be added to the front of your current EOD date, giving you a total of that number of extra days of seniority, as if you had been continuously employed since that earlier date.
For example: You were an 1896 BPA from 10/1/2013 through 11/29/2013 and had to leave the academy due to personal reasons; that is 60 days of seniority to be credited to you once you returned to USBP as an 1896 BPA with an EOD date of 5/2/2014. Those 60 days of prior service are added to the front of your current EOD date, like this:
March 3rd, 2014 |-------------| May 2nd, 2014
| -------------------- | 60-days |---------------------|
Adjusted EOD |-------------| Current EOD
As a result, your adjusted EOD date for seniority purposes is 3/3/2014, giving you an extra 60 days of seniority over your academy classmates.
If you were previously employed by USBP or CBP (including legacy INS or Customs), with a different occupational series/title, the same calculations can be made; however are not part of an adjusted EOD date unless a tiebreaker is needed.
If youre unsure of your adjusted EOD date, contact your sector HR office.
