Congressional Pension Integrity Act of 2026

This bill would bar current and former Members of Congress, and their survivors or beneficiaries, from receiving federal retirement pay based on congressional service if the Member is convicted of certain crimes committed while serving in Congress. The listed crimes include rape, sexual assault, sexual abuse of a minor, sex trafficking for profit, crimes of violence, and federal offenses involving bribery, elections, embezzlement, fraud, obstruction of justice, or campaign finance law. Retirement pay would also be barred if the Member's chamber of Congress determines, under its rules, that the Member engaged in sexual conduct with a congressional employee the Member supervised. The ban would start on the earlier of the conviction or determination date or the date the person leaves Congress. The bill would take effect when the next Congress begins after it becomes law.
