To require the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to reimburse public employee retirement systems for accidental disability retirements and accidental deaths resulting from the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center.

• Public employee retirement systems that had members who participated in 9/11 rescue, recovery, or cleanup would be eligible for reimbursements to cover costs tied to accidental disability retirements and accidental deaths. Reimbursed funds may only be used by the receiving retirement system.
• Members and survivors could benefit indirectly because their retirement systems would receive federal funds to cover those disability and death costs.
• The bill would authorize a $5.9 billion appropriation for fiscal year 2027 to carry out the program, shifting those costs from local retirement systems to the federal government.

*It would increase federal spending by $5.9 billion in fiscal year 2027.*
