Summary
Honoring Civil Servants Killed in the Line of Duty Act
This bill increases benefits to survivors of federal employees who die in the line of duty.
Specifically, the bill increases the death benefit for federal employees from $10,000 to $100,000 and increases the funeral benefit from $800 to $8,800. Both amounts must be adjusted annually for inflation. The bill also excludes the death benefit from gross income for purposes of federal taxation.
