📌ACT NOW to Keep Cancer Coverage for Firefighters in the NDAA: The Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act (S. 237/H.R.1269), would update the Public Safety Officers’ Benefits (PSOB) Program to include benefits for firefighter occupational cancer. The bill was included in the Senate’s version of the National Defense Authorization Act (NDAA) but needs your support to stay in the final NDAA.
To take action, contact your members of Congress today to ask them to keep the Honoring Our Fallen Heroes Act in the final NDAA.
