This section defines terms for a chapter covering employees of the Executive Office of the President. It explains "Board," "covered employee," "employee," and "employing office," and lists the offices that count as an "employing office." It also gives narrower meanings for "covered employee" and "employing office" when specific other sections of this chapter apply.

(a) In General. Unless this chapter says otherwise, these definitions apply: (1) Board means the Merit Systems Protection Board, created under chapter 12 of title 5. (2) Covered employee means any employee of an employing office. (3) Employee includes both an applicant for a job and a former employee. (4) Employing office means: (A) any office, agency, or other part of the Executive Office of the President; (B) the Executive Residence at the White House; and (C) the Vice President's official residence, whether temporary or permanent. (b) Definitions Relating to Certain Matters. For some specific situations, these terms mean something narrower: (1) When section 411 applies, "employing office" and "covered employee" each have the meaning given by section 411 instead. (2) When section 412 applies, "covered employee" means only the covered employee described in section 412(a)(2)(B). (3) When section 413 applies, "covered employee" does not include interns and volunteers, as section 413(a)(2) describes. (4) When section 416 applies, "covered employee" means only the covered employee described in section 416(a)(2).
