  • Members of Congress: A Member convicted of a covered offense is ineligible to receive annuity payments tied to their congressional service. The restriction applies only to convictions occurring after the date of enactment.
  • People with reversed convictions: If a court of competent jurisdiction overturns the conviction on appeal the individual receives any payments they would have received but for this law.
  • Federal statutes and administration: The law inserts a new paragraph into 5 U.S.C. 8332(o), renumbers subsequent paragraphs, and updates a cross-reference in Title 38 so related provisions align.
