What this bill would do

This bill requires the Administrator of the Federal Emergency Management Agency to reimburse eligible public employee retirement systems. The reimbursements cover costs related to accidental disability retirements and accidental deaths. These retirements and deaths must have resulted from rescue, recovery, or cleanup operations after the September 11, 2001 World Trade Center attacks. The bill limits these reimbursed amounts so they may only be used by a public employee retirement system and not by any other entity. It authorizes an appropriation of $5,913,400,000 for fiscal year 2027 to carry out this section. An eligible public employee retirement system is defined as one that contains a member who participated in the September 11 rescue, recovery, or cleanup operations.
