Honoring Civil Servants Killed in the Line of Duty Act

This bill, called the Honoring Civil Servants Killed in the Line of Duty Act, aims to increase and expand payments from the government to the families of federal employees who are killed while doing their jobs. It also ties into the part of federal law that deals with payments when a worker is missing or when a worker dies or is disabled, suggesting updates in those areas as well.

Key points

• Who is affected: Federal employees and their surviving family members.
• What changes: Expands “gratuity” payments after a line‑of‑duty death; connects to rules about payments for missing workers and for disability or death.
• When: The available text does not state timing or effective dates.
