Retired police officers and their families would get federal benefits for targeted attacks related to past service.
This bill would extend federal death and disability benefits to certain retired law enforcement officers and their families. Currently, these benefits only cover officers still on duty. If passed, this would mean retired officers who die or become permanently disabled from a targeted attack because of their past service could receive support.
Today, the federal public safety officers' death benefits program does not cover retired law enforcement officers. This means it doesn't cover those who die or become disabled due to targeted attacks related to their past service. If this bill passes, these retired officers and their families would become eligible for these benefits for such incidents, including those that occurred on or after August 28, 2012.
