Bill Summary

Federal employees and military members convicted of certain sex crimes would lose their retirement benefits and pensions if this bill becomes law. Currently, some individuals can continue receiving these payments even after conviction, but the legislation would cut off that income as a consequence of their crimes. The change would affect both civilian federal workers and military personnel who have already retired or are eligible to retire.
