Major Program Proposals:	2008 Enacted	2009 Request

1. Public Safety Officers Death Benefits Program	$ 66,000	$ 49,734
		[49,734]
The PSOB Program's mission is to provide financial assistance to the eligible survivors of federal, state, and local public safety officers who have died as the result of traumatic injury or who are permanently and totally disabled as the direct result of a catastrophic injury sustained in the line of duty, and to provide educational assistance to the spouse and children of slain or totally disabled public safety officers. The funding level requested for FY 2009 is sufficient to cover all anticipated claims in that year for the death benefits program. As this program is counted as a mandatory account, should additional resources be required to fund all claims, the funding level can be adjusted administratively.

2. Public Safety Officers Disablity Benefits Program	$ 4,854	$ 5,000
		[3,500]
The PSOB Program's mission is to provide financial assistance to the eligible survivors of federal, state, and local public safety officers who have died as the result of traumatic injury or who are permanently and totally disabled as the direct result of a catastrophic injury sustained in the line of duty, and to provide educational assistance to the spouse and children of slain or totally disabled public safety officers.
