- Abstract: The Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB) program provides cash benefits to federal, state, and local law enforcement officers; firefighters; employees of emergency management agencies; and members of emergency medical services agencies who are killed or permanently and totally disabled as the result of personal injuries sustained in the line of duty. The Public Safety Officers' Educational Assistance (PSOEA) program, a component of the PSOB program, provides higher-education assistance to the children and spouses of public safety officers killed or permanently disabled in the line of duty. The PSOB and PSOEA programs are administered by the Department of Justice (DOJ), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA). Claimants dissatisfied with denials of benefits may pursue administrative appeals within DOJ and may seek judicial review before the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. Each year, Congress appropriates funding for PSOB death benefits, which is considered mandatory spending, and for PSOB disability benefits and PSOEA benefits, which is subject to annual appropriations. For FY2022, the one-time lump-sum PSOB death and disability benefit is $389,825 and the PSOEA monthly benefit for a student attending an educational institution full-time is $1,298. Public safety officers who contract Coronavirus Disease 2019 (COVID-19) in the line of duty may be eligible for PSOB benefits. The Safeguarding America's First Responders Act (S. 3607, P.L. 116-157) provides a presumption of PSOB eligibility for public safety officers who were on duty beginning January 1, 2020. On November 18, 2021, President Joe Biden signed into law the Protecting America's First Responders Act of 2021 (P.L. 117-61) which made numerous amendments to the PSOB and PSOEA programs as indicated in various places in this report. On August 16, 2022, President Biden signed into law the Public Safety Officer Support Act of 2022 (P.L. 117-172), which expanded PSOB coverage to include, in certain cases, mental health conditions such as post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), disabilities caused by attempted suicides, and deaths caused by officer suicides.
