Public Safety Officers’ Benefits Program

A pile of newspapers bundled together with string.

Administered by the Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits (PSOB) Program provides death benefits to the eligible survivors of public safety officers who are fatally injured in the line of duty; disability benefits to public safety officers catastrophically injured in the line of duty; and education benefits to the eligible spouses and children of fallen and catastrophically injured officers.

With the recent outbreak of the novel coronavirus disease or COVID-19, America’s law enforcement officers, firefighters and other first responders face a new health risk as they continue to selflessly serve their communities.
