Bill overview

This bill, the Honoring Civil Servants Killed in the Line of Duty Act, increases and expands death gratuities for federal employees who die while performing their duties. It raises the standard death gratuity to $100,000, adjusted annually for inflation, and establishes a clear order of precedence for distributing these payments to surviving beneficiaries, including children, spouses, and parents. The bill also provides for supplemental appropriations in the event of natural disasters or other incidents that strain an agency's resources for providing these benefits, and makes adjustments to death gratuities for military personnel and State Department employees.
