Coal Excise Tax Extended for Black Lung Benefits Fund Solvency.
This act extends a special tax on coal until the end of 2031. The money from this tax goes into a fund that pays benefits to coal miners suffering from black lung disease and their families. This ensures the fund has money to continue paying these benefits for another decade.
Key points
The coal excise tax, which funds benefits for sick miners, will be extended for 10 years, until December 31, 2031.
This ensures the financial stability of the fund that provides benefits to individuals affected by work-related lung disease in mines.
