| Title: ●Public Safety Officers' Educational Assistance Program | |
| Abstract: The Bureau of Justice Assistance of the Department of Justice is amending the regulations governing the Federal Law Enforcement Dependents' Assistance (FLEDA) program, found at 28 CFR Part 32, Subpart B, to comply with the amendments to its authorizing statute, 42 USC 3896, et seq, enacted by the Police, Fire and Emergency Officers' Educational Assistance Act of 1998, PL 104-238 (Nov. 13, 1998)(the PSOE Act). The PSOE Act expands the scope of eligibility for financial assistance for higher education to the dependents of all public safety officers, including state and local, who are killed or permanently and totally disabled in the line of duty. The regulatory amendments allow the spouses and children of all public safety officers who are killed or permanently and totally disabled in the line of duty and with respect to whom a claim has been approved under the Public Safety Officers' Benefits (PSOB) program, to receive these educational benefits. To reflect the expansion of the program, this rulemaking changes the program name from the "Federal Law Enforcement Dependents' Assistance" (FLEDA) program to the "Public Safety Officers' Educational Assistance" (PSOB) program. Likewise, the references in 28 CFR Part 32, subpart B are changing from "civilian Federal law enforcement" or "Federal law enforcement" to "public safety." | |
