29 U.S.C. § 631 — Age limits

**(a) Individuals at least 40 years of age** The prohibitions in this chapter shall be limited to individuals who are at least 40 years of age. **(b) Employees or applicants for employment in Federal Government** In the case of any personnel action affecting employees or applicants for employment which is subject to the provisions of [section 633a of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title29-section633a&num=0&edition=prelim), the prohibitions established in [section 633a of this title](https://uscode.house.gov/view.xhtml?req=granuleid:USC-prelim-title29-section633a&num=0&edition=prelim) shall be limited to individuals who are at least 40 years of age. **(c) Bona fide executives or high policymakers** (1) Nothing in this chapter shall be construed to prohibit compulsory retirement of any employee who has attained 65 years of age and who, for the 2-year period immediately before retirement, is employed in a bona fide executive or a high policymaking position, if such employee is entitled to an immediate nonforfeitable annual retirement benefit from a pension, profit-sharing, savings, or deferred compensation plan, or any combination of such plans, of the employer of such employee, which equals, in the aggregate, at least $44,000.

29 U.S.C. § 621 — Congressional statement of findings and purpose

**(a)** The Congress hereby finds and declares that— (1) in the face of rising productivity and affluence, older workers find themselves disadvantaged in their efforts to retain employment, and especially to regain employment when displaced from jobs; (2) the setting of arbitrary age limits regardless of potential for job performance has become a common practice, and certain otherwise desirable practices may work to the disadvantage of older persons; (3) the incidence of unemployment, especially long-term unemployment with resultant deterioration of skill, morale, and employer acceptability is, relative to the younger ages, high among older workers; their numbers are great and growing; and their employment problems grave; (4) the existence in industries affecting commerce, of arbitrary discrimination in employment because of age, burdens commerce and the free flow of goods in commerce. **(b)** It is therefore the purpose of this chapter to promote employment of older persons based on their ability rather than age; to prohibit arbitrary age discrimination in employment; to help employers and workers find ways of meeting problems arising from the impact of age on employment.
