This bill prevents members of Congress who are convicted of corruption crimes from collecting their government retirement benefits. Right now, members can keep receiving their pensions even after being convicted of corruption-related crimes, as long as they're still appealing their conviction in court. The No CORRUPTION Act changes this by making them ineligible for these retirement payments immediately upon conviction, rather than waiting until all their appeals are completely finished. In practical terms, if a senator or representative is found guilty of bribery, fraud, or other corruption offenses, they would lose access to the pension benefits they earned through their service in Congress. This applies to retirement benefits from both the Civil Service Retirement System and the Federal Employees' Retirement System. The goal is to ensure that members convicted of public corruption don't continue to receive taxpayer-funded retirement income while their legal cases are still being appealed.

No CORRUPTION Act

Rosen, Jacky

No Congressionally Obligated Recurring Revenue Used as Pensions To Incarcerated Officials Now Act or the No CORRUPTION Act This bill makes a Member of Congress who has been convicted of a crime related to public corruption ineligible to receive retirement payments pursuant to the Civil Service Retirement System or the Federal Employees' Retirement System based on service as a Member. Under current law, a Member must forgo receipt of these payments only after a final conviction (i.e., after the exhaustion of all appeals under the judicial process).
