Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Enhancement Act of 2026

Key claim: The Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Enhancement Act of 2026 (HR9845) would enhance benefits for public safety officers and was referred to the House Judiciary Committee.

Abstract

(HR9845 · 119th Congress) Latest action (2026-07-22): Referred to the House Committee on the Judiciary.

Why this matters

The PSOB program provides federal death, disability, and education benefits to public safety officers and their families, and enhancements affect DOJ outlays and the practical support available to law enforcement and first responder families. Tracking referral-stage bills like HR9845 helps establish a baseline for whether Congress will expand eligibility or benefit levels in this cycle.
