Public Safety Officers Benefits Awareness, Assistance, and Support
Enacted in 1976, the Public Safety Officers Benefits (PSOB) Program is a unique partnership effort of the U. S. Department of Justice, Office of Justice Programs (OJP), Bureau of Justice Assistance (BJA), PSOB Office and local, state, tribal, and federal public safety agencies and national organizations
to provide Death, Disability, and Education Benefits to those eligible for the program.1 This partnership relies significantly on the ability of the PSOB Office to obtain, from surviving agencies, related public safety agencies, and survivors themselves, the wide and complex range of evidence required to process and determine a claim according to the PSOB Act and regulations.
This partnership also is critical for maintaining and enhancing national peer support and counseling programs that assist the families of those public safety officers who have fallen in the line of duty.
