Bill overview
The Stop Congressional Retirees Accessing Perks Act (SCRAP Act) aims to reduce benefits for current and former members of Congress. It prohibits payments of death gratuities to the survivors of current members, terminates certain retirement benefits for members who have served 10 years or less, and restricts access to certain perks for former members who are registered lobbyists. The bill also limits the availability of specific benefits and services to former House members who are lobbyists, though waivers can be granted. This legislation seeks to increase accountability and transparency in congressional retirement benefits.
