## Summary

**Forfeiting congressional annuities after certain convictions.** This bill would bar a Member of Congress from receiving an annuity or retired pay based on credited service if the Member is convicted of specified crimes or if the House finds the Member engaged in sexual conduct with a supervised House employee. - Members of Congress: A Member convicted of offenses such as rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse of a minor, crimes of violence, bribery or other corruption, election offenses, fraud, or obstruction would be ineligible for annuity or retired pay tied to that service. - Survivors and beneficiaries: Survivors or beneficiaries could be denied annuity or retired pay that would otherwise be payable based on the convicted Member's service. - House employees and workplace misconduct: If the House determines a Member had sexual conduct with an officer or employee they supervised, that House determination can trigger the same ban on annuity or retired pay. The rule would take effect on the first day of the next Congress after enactment and would apply to convictions, House determinations, and terminations occurring after that effective date.
