## Summary

**This bill would create a one-year federal reimbursement program to compensate public employee retirement systems for costs from accidental disability retirements and accidental deaths tied to 9/11 rescue, recovery, or cleanup operations.** The Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) would administer the payments. - 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.*
