OMB
COST ESTIMATE
FOR PAY-AS-YOU-GO CALCULATIONS
Report No: 559
Date: 10/04/2001
- LAW NUMBER:
P.L.107-37 (H.R. 2882)
- BILL TITLE:
Expedited Payment for Heroic Public Safety Officers
- BILL PURPOSE:
Provides for expedited payments of certain benefits for public safety
officers who were killed or suffered catastrophic injuries as a direct
and proximate result of a personal injury sustained in the line of duty
in connection with the terrorist attack of September 11, 2001.
- OMB ESTIMATE:
Under current law, the Public Safety Officer's Benefits program provides
one-time benefits to the eligible survivors of public safety officers
whose deaths are the direct and proximate result of a traumatic injury
sustained in the line of duty. Disability benefits are provided to public
safety officers who have been totally disabled in the line of duty.
The disability benefits are subject to the availability of funds being
provided in appropriations acts. Under P.L. 107-37, disability benefits
for those injured in the September 11th attack will not be
subject to appropriations action. OMB estimates that an additional $8
million in disability payments will be made as a result of the Act.

NOTE:
The cumulative effect of direct spending and revenue legislation enacted
to date is currently estimated to result in an end-of-session sequester.
The Administration looks forward to working with the Congress to ensure
that an unintended sequester does not occur.
