The Foreign Service Workforce Retention Act amends the Foreign Service Act of 1980 to change the recall and reappointment process for career members. It requires the Secretary to submit annual reports to Congress detailing the number of recalled and reappointed career members, their grades at retirement or separation, and their positions at the time of recall or reappointment. It also mandates that members seeking reappointment be incorporated into the next assignment cycle within 180 days of approval.
