FEMA would pay back public retirement systems for 9/11 World Trade Center costs

This bill would require the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to pay back public employee retirement systems. This covers costs related to accidental disabilities and deaths from 9/11 World Trade Center operations. This means retirement systems for first responders and others who helped at Ground Zero would get financial support. Congress would set aside $5,913,400,000 for this purpose in the government's budget year 2027.

What Would Change

Currently, the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) is not required to pay back public employee retirement systems for certain costs. These costs are related to accidental disability retirements and deaths from the September 11, 2001, World Trade Center attacks. If this bill becomes law, FEMA would be required to provide these reimbursements. $5,913,400,000 would be set aside for the government's budget year 2027 to cover these costs.
