AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require federal agencies to pay a $100,000 death gratuity, adjusted each year for inflation, to the beneficiaries of federal employees who die from injuries connected to their work or from causes such as criminal acts, terrorism, or natural disasters. It sets an order for who receives the payment, starting with a beneficiary the employee named on an official form, then a spouse, children, parents, and the estate. It would raise the federal payment for funeral expenses from $800 to $8,800, adjusted yearly. It would also add yearly inflation adjustments to other death gratuities, including those for military deaths and deaths of employees serving abroad, and make these payments exempt from federal income tax. Agencies could receive additional funds if a disaster or other incident leads to costs above what is available.
