Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Enhancement Act of 2026 simplifies claim process for public safety officers' beneficiaries.
The Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Enhancement Act of 2026 amends the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act of 1968 to streamline the claim process for beneficiaries of public safety officers who die from a heart attack or stroke. The bill removes the requirement that the death be directly caused by something other than cardiovascular-disease risk factors and extends the time frame for filing claims from 24 to 72 hours. These changes aim to facilitate easier access to benefits through the Public Safety Office Benefit program.
