Denying Federal Pensions to Employees Convicted of Child Sex Abuse.

This law prohibits the payment of federal retirement benefits to individuals convicted of specific child sex abuse offenses committed after the law takes effect. The goal is to ensure that convicted offenders do not profit from public service after committing severe crimes. Crucially, forfeited funds can be directed to victims as court-ordered restitution.
Key points
Federal employees convicted of specified child sex abuse crimes forfeit their right to federal retirement pay or annuities.
Forfeited funds can be used to pay court-ordered restitution or compensation directly to the victims of the offense.
The denial of benefits applies to offenses committed in the U.S. or abroad, provided the conduct occurred after the law's enactment date.
