A bankruptcy judge can temporarily serve in a different judicial district if both circuits' judicial councils approve. A retired bankruptcy judge can be recalled to serve, with their consent, by the circuit's judicial council. A recalled judge may be paid, subject to certain pension rules.

(a) A bankruptcy judge can be temporarily transferred to serve in a judicial district other than the one they were originally appointed to. This needs approval from the judicial council of each circuit involved. (b) A retired bankruptcy judge can be recalled to serve again, but only if they agree. The judicial council of the circuit where the district sits handles the recall. Once recalled, the judge can be paid a salary for that work, following rules the Judicial Conference of the United States sets, subject to pension-related limits in section 377, and in certain retirement law chapters of title 5, that apply to that judge.
