AI-generated summary, report an errorThis bill would require the head of the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to pay back public employee retirement systems for costs tied to accidental disability retirements and accidental deaths. These must result from the rescue, recovery, or cleanup work after the September 11, 2001 attacks on the World Trade Center. A retirement system qualifies if it has a member who took part in that work. The money could be used only by the retirement systems and not by any other entity. The bill would authorize $5,913,400,000 for fiscal year 2027 for this purpose.
