Faster Benefit Decisions: Government Must Respond Within 270 Days.
This law establishes a mandatory time limit for the agency responsible for processing specific benefit claims, often related to public safety officers. After a claim is filed, the Bureau must inform the claimant of its eligibility determination within 270 calendar days (about nine months). This change aims to speed up the administrative process and provide quicker financial certainty to eligible individuals and their families.
Key points
A new 270-day deadline is set for the Bureau to issue a decision on benefit eligibility claims under the Omnibus Crime Control and Safe Streets Act.
Claimants will receive a guaranteed response from the government agency within this defined timeframe, improving predictability and reducing waiting times.
