What type of Benefits does the PSOB program provide?
A. The PSOB program provides death benefits in the form of a one-time financial payment to eligible survivors of public safety officers, such as police officers, firefighters, and emergency responders, whose deaths are the direct and proximate result of a personal injury sustained in the line of duty. The program also provides benefits to public safety officers who are permanently and totally disabled because of injuries sustained in the line of duty. In addition, the PSOB program provides financial assistance to help pay higher education costs for the spouses and children of public safety officers for whom PSOB death or disability benefits have been paid.
