Halting Pension Payments for Members of Congress Convicted of Certain Crimes.

This new legislation, known as the "No CORRUPTION Act," stops federal pension payments to former Members of Congress convicted of specific offenses related to their public service. This ensures that taxpayer money is not used to fund retirement benefits for officials who have committed serious crimes. The rule applies only to convictions occurring after the law's enactment date.
Key points
Members of Congress convicted of certain felonies forfeit their right to receive federal pension payments based on their congressional service.
The law only applies to convictions handed down after December 23, 2024.
If a conviction is overturned on appeal, the individual will receive all previously withheld pension payments.
