Bill overview
This bill amends the Central Intelligence Agency Act to allow the agency to provide compensation to employees and their dependents who suffer partial or total disabilities due to brain injuries, provided they aren't already receiving disability payments. It also extends similar compensation authority to personnel of the Department of State who experience comparable disabilities. The bill requires the Director of the CIA and the Secretary of State to report on the use of this authority and assess whether further action is needed to ensure adequate compensation for affected individuals.
